What a ‘post‑antibiotic era’ could mean for modern medicine | The-14

Antibiotic resistance threatens modern medicine, raising fears of a post-antibiotic era where infections, surgeries and treatments become far more dangerous.

"Ancient bacteria, trapped in caves for millions of years, live in a miniature world of terror. Their only food source is each other. The survival tactics they develop make them resistant to almost all antibiotics. Now scientists hope to use their tricks to inspire new drugs and treatments.

Deep underground, plunging 1604ft (489m) beneath the Chihuahuan Desert in southern New Mexico, lies the Lechuguilla Cave, a cavern which stretches on for 149 miles (240km). There is no light, and little to eat either. Any living thing must eke out an existence under conditions of near starvation."

'Predators that just run in and grab, stab and kill': The deep cave bacteria resistant to modern medicine

In the brutal world of deep caves, bacteria live in a miniature world of terror. The weapons they have evolved can defeat antibiotics – but now they are inspiring powerful new drugs.

Drought Leads to Increased Antibiotic-Resistant Microbes in Soils

A new Caltech study indicates that drought increases the abundances of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms in soils, which directly correlates with an increase in antibiotic-resistant infections in hospitals. In other words, regions experiencing high aridity—hotter, drier regions—also experience higher levels of antibiotic-resistant infections. The work demonstrates the interconnectedness of climate, environment, and human health.
