As if the war wasn’t enough, to then be running out of treatment options for wounded soldiers… the situation seems hopeless… but every analysis identifies one or more solutions & this is a textbook write-up of how to find hope & better responses. 🙂
So glad I read it; only concern is what is the situation in Ruzzia (have read elsewhere about rises in all sorts of infectious diseases like HIV etc in Ruzzia & in a world so interconnected can we afford a rogue country so close to many others? Rhetorical question - but facts could be helpful - before they start distributing the measles-infected blankets).

Major beef producers are selling beef as "antibiotic free" when it actually contains antibiotics. This was discovered last year, but no action was taken against Cargill, Tyson, and JBS.
It's reported that 70% of antibiotics used in the US are used in food and meat production.
With recent cut backs to USDA, expect more of this kind of deception.

New antibiotic for multidrug resistant superbug

Researchers from the universities in Konstanz and Vienna discover a new class of antibiotic that selectively targets Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhoea. These substances trigger a self-destruction program, which also operates in multi-resistant variants of the pathogen. The novel findings are published in the current issue of Nature Microbiology.

I missed the memo when the US stopped #antibiotics misuse in #agriculture (as Devi Sridhar suggests here but the document linked describes the practice when it was current)

Could antibiotics stop working? Yes – but the biggest danger isn’t prescription-happy GPs

To prevent a catastrophic failure of the drugs modern medicine relies on, look to animal farming in middle-income countries, says Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh
