In the US, found "unkillable superbug"

Specialists in the US health authorities have identified the first case of infection in the country, which cannot be treated by any of the world’s famous antibiotics, reports RIA News Reuters message.

According to the agency referring to the Center for Disease Control, "we are talking about an 49-year-old woman from the state of Pennsylvania suffering from urinary tract infection."

Commenting on this case, the head of the center, Thomas Frieden, said: "We risk to be in the post-antibiotic world."

According to the report of the medics, which published the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, the “identified superbugs” themselves are infected with a plasmid — a tiny DNA fragment that transmits antibiotic resistance to the gene called mcr-1, in particular, to colistin. ”

This fact "means the appearance of a bacterium that is truly resistant to all drugs," the report says.

It always seemed to me and it seems that the fascination of mankind with antibiotics, preservatives, accelerators, household chemicals that kill 99.9% of bacteria in the toilet, will lead to a mutant virus pandemic coming to people and the planet will be pretty cleansed of the human population littering the planet. And all nuclear batons and other Chinese, metropolitan, housing problems will be solved in one fell swoop.

Has the next virus escaped from some laboratory? They either have some kind of bird flu or some other infections that run away, destroy themselves and half the world at the same time.

Soak the woman, burn the corpse. I think the bacterium will not tolerate this antibiotic.

This is one of the reasons for the appearance of superbugs.
People champs antibiotics for any common cold, not even understanding what it is about
Viruses are not treated with antibiotics !!!!!!!
And people eat and mutate various bacteria and mutate, and as a result, superbacteria appeared in tuberculosis, gonorrhea, and even in some diseases.
From thoughtless consumption - the results are deplorable and everyone will have to pay.

I agree with you, except for one thing - most likely it is just about testing the next viral brainchild of laboratories "our partners". Let's hope that this is a duck, and "success" did not happen. Although, given the interest and the huge amount of money going to the development of bacteriological weapons (including the so-called pharmaceutical companies), it is most likely just a matter of time ...

[dauria]

that a mutant virus pandemic will come to people and the planet will be pretty cleansed of the human population littering the planet

Yeah, that’s all garbage ... Man, like any cattle on earth, bought the right to live with billions of victims from all kinds of things. Even the plague carried away without any medicine only a third of the sick. And Africans still live without vaccinations and medicine. Compensate mortality with birth rates.

[vkl.47]

I won’t be surprised if this woman lived after shale gas production. Since a lot of chemistry penetrates underground rivers into the underground rivers, a lot of chemistry penetrates. As a result of hydroblow, most people living in such areas have urinary bladder cancer. The RT broadcast was about extraction in the USA

Do you offer a gauze dressing on the genitourinary tract? Or chlorine there?



With already infected people what to do? Isolate tightly? To destroy?

You won’t believe it, but sometimes douching with chlorhexidine helps to prevent STDs.

Here in the urethra, when it is still sticking out and it is worth injecting chlorhexidine / miramistin. There is even a package specially designed for such procedures. I recommend on the basis of my rather "stormy" youthful experience =)

Well, what to do? For example, he fell ill, went to a clinic or called a doctor at home if the temperature is high. He prescribes antibiotics just in case, so that there is no complication from the flu, you drink them. Somehow I don’t really want to risk that ordinary flu will flow into pneumonia.

[DrVintorez]

case of life.
the wife became very ill - cough, low-grade fever (37,2 - 37,7), headache. day off, this moment I will note separately, the doctor was called to the house. the polyclinic does not work, and you cannot go to work in this state - only people are infected, and therefore a sick leave is necessary. a female paramedic arrived. I listened, I didn’t hear nichrome (although hard dry rales were not hard to hear there, even I remembered from the studio how they sound), wrote out a symptomatic treatment, referral to a chest x-ray (exclude pneumonia). and (attention !!!) wrote a prescription for a very serious antibiotic, advising: there will be a bad x-ray - immediately take it. if there is nothing on the x-ray - in no case should not be taken.
actually why am I saying this. I am a doctor, and due to the specifics, I know very well what will happen if I sculpt AB without a reason. we were consulted, we heard. but how many other people who do not rummage in medicine? and here’s the recipe! go buy, eat! About the fact that the course of antibiotics MUST be drunk completely, also few people know.
Threat. Dear VO visitors! if you are sick, then sit at home, do not aggravate the disease. Yes, not everyone can. but try to sit out / rest. health to you. it is in me that the doctor woke up. I went to put him to sleep.

Antibiotics for the flu.
How did Lavrov say about this?

[Riv]

Well this is nonsense. Even plague epidemics never led to the complete extinction of the human population. There were always individuals hardy enough to survive. And diseases such as smallpox were not perceived at all as something dangerous. Habit. Everyone is sick, so it should be.

Mankind at one time has not in vain taken the path of preventing disease. Antibiotics have increased survival, especially with wounds. But in fact, vaccines and hygiene finished off the same smallpox, not drugs. So it is with this American woman: more often it is necessary to wash between the legs.

didn’t kill smallpox, oh didn’t kill! I am afraid that the rejection of universal vaccination will be very strong sideways for all people. by and large smallpox is an ideal agent of bio-war: mortality is high, infectiousness is excellent.

This is just a subtle hint. Soon, an outbreak of the epidemic of this very bacterium should be expected somewhere.

Unlikely. The infection is urogenital, despite the fornication of promiscuity and promiscuity, the likelihood of an outbreak is small.

[arane]

The fact is that any living organism, even a bacterium or a person, evolves, that is, it mutates under the influence of the habitat, adapting to it. The mutation rate depends on the change of generations as well. Microorganisms live short, multiply rapidly, and therefore adapt to all sorts of antibiotics quickly. People also adapt, including bacteria, but it takes hundreds and thousands of years

[DrVintorez]

Bravo! The words of an intelligent person! Without sarcasm

[demiurg]

In principle, penicillin is now virtually powerless as an antibiotic. Bacteria naturally mutate, and naturally very quickly. Humanity will invent a new superdrug against bacteria, and they will adapt to it. And humanity with its chemistry and radiation only contributes to the acceleration of mutations.
Duck this news or not, but in any case the appearance of a new plague is more real than the arrival of a meteorite or the eruption of a supervolcano. Indeed, now humanity is much more mobile than in the 12-13th century. If the incubation period for a new disease is within 1-2 weeks, before it is detected, probably half of humanity will become infected.

[Forget]

Quote: demiurg

Humanity will invent a new superdrug against bacteria,

Maybe he can, but with flu without an antipyretic, your body will destroy the virus along with your own brain.
No matter how you are tempered, no matter how you maintain immunity, you will have no chance of infection from a carrier.

Everything is a cure. Everything is poison. It's about the dosage ...

[Kibl]

There are two options for the emergence of a new bacterium. The first is synthesized, the second is brought to the planet from outer space. Rather, the first worked here, maybe this woman is an employee of one of the many American biological laboratories. There would be a bacterium of cosmic origin that would cover a much larger number of people. The states again knocked down and this is not the first time!

[DrVintorez]

What ??? Do you not consider the concept of mutation / evolution? Or do you mean a new genus / type of microorganism?

[Reptiloid]

About bacteria from space. For terrestrial unicellular organisms, it is natural to develop either pseudopodia or flagella for movement, the same thing on any sufficiently large planet where there are conditions for Life. But on comets, where there is not enough space, but there are conditions, flagella are not needed. Here are blue-green algae. Neither their nor their descendants --- red algae (which had already appeared on Earth) had flagella and did not. I recall the bacteria KOKKI. They, like the blue-green algae, have spherical cells and without flagella! Maybe they too? They came to Earth at the beginning of its history.

[DrVintorez]

Og. And the immovable anthrax wand is also a space alien. Use an Occam razor. Do not produce entities unnecessarily.

[Rus_lan]

Campaign they want to knock out another multi-million grant for supposedly research

[DrVintorez]

If the information is true, and the bacterium is truly pan-resistant, then this study will cost any money. In general, we must rejoice that this is a urogenital, not an air. Imagine absolutely drug resistant tuberculosis. This will be a complete ass.

[Averias]

And in Britain, this is:
Experts warn of the appearance in British hospitals of a superbacterium that does not succumb to even the most powerful antibiotics. The bacterium synthesizing the highly toxic NDM-1 enzyme arrived in the country with patients undergoing cosmetic surgery in India and Pakistan.

And so in a circle, the bacteria atom bomb will soon be at such a pace I suppose that medicine is going in the wrong direction, doctors should get money not for the sick, but for the healthy, but pharmaceuticals are buzzes and what kind of people who will be on their way slam the hell out of their dogs despite any oaths taken by any hypocrat. I read about an alternative to antibiotics, these are microorganisms that are harmless to humans, but they simply bite off part of the harmful microorganisms harmful to bacteria and viruses, and they begin to hurt and die and adapt to this, they don’t get it at all, you don’t mess up when pieces bite off you.

[Mountain shooter]

This is a provocation! What kind of Ebola, what kind of Zika? The world has ceased to be afraid of the screams of the giants of the pharmaceutical industry "Wolves, wolves"! Money (and there is such money that the drug mafia is quietly crying in the corner!) Is no longer given. So, we need to come up with such a "crocozyabra" so that everyone shudders! And for this you need to invent something absolutely indestructible, the entire pharmaceutical industry is powerless, you need 100500 billion for research and ten times more for the production of life-saving potions, pills, injections, inhalations (emphasize the necessary). Since the fear of premature death is the strongest FEAR, exceeding even the horror of a cosmetic bag forgotten at home or the inability to buy the latest iPhone.
Another fake is launched into the world. Based on the simplest logic, if a bacterium is alive and interacts with the biological environment, it means that it has both "vulnerabilities" and the fact that they do not coincide with the existing set of antibiotics - well, a temporary inconvenience.

[forester]

Soon they will have hot dogs and hamburgers attacking people. Genetics, spruce trees.

It seems it's time for these developers of biological weapons (and there is no other way to name such "superbugs") - on the electric stool - like the executioners of Auschwitz - for the same reasons. The worst thing is that these would-be scientists are proud of this and rejoice at their creation.

The developers have nothing to do with it. There are consumers of antibiotics. Sooner or later, antibiotic-resistant organisms appear in our country. This is an inevitable process due to the thoughtless use of antibiotics. They can not be used horribly. Only by the course and as prescribed by the doctor, and not because the nose is blocked. We ourselves educate living creatures living in us by accustoming them to doses of drugs. They are adjusting slowly.

And all nuclear batons and other Chinese, metropolitan, housing problems will be solved in one fell swoop.

Experts have long been saying that in most cases the emergence of such bacteria is promoted by the promiscuous use of the strongest antibiotics! Taking antibiotics for any case of viral diseases, the human body ceases to resist infection itself! Any virus or bacterium has a genetic memory for antibiotics and begins to develop immunity to them! Which leads to the appearance of unkillable superbacteria!

Taking antibiotics for any case of viral diseases,

Here is the key phrase. Viruses DO NOT DESTROY antibiotics.

[megafair]

There are 7,4 billion people on the planet, 325 million in the US - less than 5% of the total, but all especially dangerous viruses / bacteria either start their way from the US, or the ears of the pind0s are clearly traced in each "new" case.

The question is, can this be a mere coincidence?

[DrVintorez]

Well, let's get statistics on air traffic. Who flies the planet more amers?

There are worse things than nuclear weapons.

Such sores can be treated only at the level of development of their own bacteriophages.

And yet - yes ... in the West in this direction very progressed.

At a time when, thanks to EBN, our scientists did not always succeed in even eating their fill. What kind of equipment is there to buy ...

[DrVintorez]

Bacteriophages are just one option. Can be treated with other bacteria - the antagonism of various microorganisms has long been known. You can look for new antibiotics.

[Reptiloid]

There was a story that in Japan alone, after Hiroshima, etc., 2 completely new blood groups arose! Other nations do not have them! And scientists say that by 2050 the world will have 15 - 20 blood groups in people! I also remembered the mutations of microbes at the Mir station, which, by the way, was why it was flooded.
If people mutate, then what's stopping the bacteria ...

[Normal ok]

Doctors have been talking about the problem of increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics for a long time. In the last decade, they began to talk about this at the official level. For example, a year ago the British Ministry of Health announced this. And the question here is not in conspiracy theology, but in the unreasonable widespread use of antibiotics and the elementary mutation of bacteria. In general, welcome to the prepenicillin world

Now I read Tarmashev's "Heritage" - one to one, people change the genomes of plants and animals, viruses and bacteria, without even really understanding how it will work, and as a natural ending, post-apocalypse at the end. The whole problem is in the naivety of scientists, oligarchs and politicians that they can control the process and foresee everything. The cosmic grain of sand imagines itself equal to the creator.
