it's not like we're developing life extension tech at any appreciable rate for me to care if some shit shaves off a few measly decades from the pathetic expected life span i and everyone else is born with.

I highly doubt that is a problem, go away phramaceutical company evolving bacterias to kill people to sell antibiotics, get a better job.

pharmaceutical commpanies arent developing antibacteria cause it makes no money dumb retard

Antibiotic resistance is mostly the result of irresponsible use in China, India, Africa and similar shitholes. The people there absolutely don't give a shit, they keep a bunch of antibiotic pills and just take one when they feel headachey like it's Tylenol or something. Sometime they plant it in the soil to help their crops.

You want functional antibiotics when you're 60 years old? Stop sharing the technology with literal cavemen who will just piss it away, use it as fuel to breed, and come back demanding even more handouts next time your civilization develops a miracle drug.

This guy gets it

But honestly with the upcoming agricultural collapse, we'll have more pressing matters by that time. Unless the bacteriophage idea gets on the production line really soon

Ameritard detected. Antibiotic resistancne is because of retarded mutts overusing it in agriculture stop deflecting the blame to poor countries tard

Actually it's both

Actually it's not. It's almost only due to agricultural misuse

[Anonymous No.11458145]

Yea, but it happens basically everywhere in the world. Sure, not in the dirt-poor countries which can't afford antibiotics at all, but you got me fucked up if you think that developing countries like India, China, Brazil etc which have millions of mouths to feed don't abuse antibiotics in agriculture

[Anonymous No.11458174]

>>11458145
yeah bro for sure those damn developing countries are at fault definitely

I never claimed they are the biggest producer, all I ever said was literally that it's the combined effort of developed and developing countries, and as such they shouldn't be completely discounted, which was in reply to your post saying that it was specifically America which is overusing it in agriculture.

Humans are terrible at risk assessment.
No one thinks twice about all these things that are far more likely to kill you.

The high bacterial strain specificity of phage therapy may make it necessary for clinics to make different cocktails for treatment of the same infection or disease because the bacterial components of such diseases may differ from region to region or even person to person. In addition, this means that 'banks' containing many different phages must be kept and regularly updated with new phages.[5]

Further, bacteria can evolve different receptors either before or during treatment. This can prevent phages from completely eradicating bacteria.[7]

The need for banks of phages makes regulatory testing for safety harder and more expensive under current rules in most countries. Such a process would make difficult the large-scale use of phage therapy. Additionally, patent issues (specifically on living organisms) may complicate distribution for pharmaceutical companies wishing to have exclusive rights over their "invention", which would discourage a commercial corporation from investing capital in this.

As has been known for at least thirty years, mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis have specific bacteriophages.[64] No lytic phage has yet been discovered for Clostridium difficile, which is responsible for many nosocomial diseases, but some temperate phages (integrated in the genome, also called lysogenic) are known for this species; this opens encouraging avenues but with additional risks as discussed below.
