As a health researcher this scares the poo poo out of me. For decades we have been warned about antibiotic resistant bacteria, but we kept overusing them particularly in factory farming to cut costs. Thanks antibiotics! It was nice having you for the past 70 years!

http://www.smh.com.au/world/the-superbug-that-could-render-antibiotics-useless-just-hit-the-us-20160526-gp4yl3.html


The other issue is that we are not spending anywhere near enough money on looking for new antibiotics or alternatives. That's because antibiotics are cheap - so there is little money to be made in discovering a new one, so most of the research is being done by the public sector.

From my limited knowledge of the area we now have drug resistant

TB
Gonorrhea (Sorry SOAG)
Urinary tract infections

We are going to get to the point where going to hospital will be risky again.

I have one quite intelligent friend who still won't listen when they insist they need antibiotic for a viral infection (eg. common cold).

I wonder if any new antibiotics will be regulated so you can only receive them while in hospital to prevent people from taking them for viruses or whatever.

I heard this really interesting radio presentation awhile ago on Bacteriophages as an alternative to when antibiotics stop being effective. Convincing people to ingest viruses for their own good I imagine will be quite the task, but maybe not when people are dying from what was once commonly treatable illnesses.

It'll just be a pill with freeze dried viruses or something though, it's not like they'll be asked to drink a cup of cloudy brown muck with a bio hazard sign on it.

It's already risky, there's been recurring golden staph infections sweeping through Australian hospitals but it doesn't get much media airtime. My local hospital has had several but they think they've improved their procedures lately to prevent it recurring, which to me is pretty much crossing fingers. Ultimately you can't do anything about someone walking in with a resistant bacteria and spreading it.

From my experience (of this one radio presentation and the wikipedia I googled to double check before posting), you eat live viruses that specifically target whatever bacteria is causing the main problem. So yeah, go home and eat these viruses, you'll be good in a few days mate.

quote:

The British Foreign Office has performed more same-sex weddings in Australia than in any other country, according to figures provided to SBS by the British High Commission.

Out of 280 same-sex marriages performed in British embassies and high commissions around the world, 250 of them have occurred in Australia.

Alex Beatty from the High Commission said the figures weren't surprising given the relationship between the two countries. It's estimated 1.5 million Australians either have British citizenship or have family ties which make them eligible to apply.
