What are superbugs and what are superbugs?

A superbug is a drug-resistant bacterium that can cause sores and blisters in people, and even gradually make people die of muscles. What's even more terrifying is that antibiotic drugs don't work against it, and the patient will have terrible inflammation due to the infection, high fever, convulsions, coma and finally death. The terrible thing about this germ is not its lethality to people, but its resistance to ordinary bactericidal drugs - antibiotics, for which people have almost no medicine.

In 2010, the United Kingdom** broke out: a new superbug NDM-1 was found in South Asia, which is extremely resistant and can spread globally.

Now the reason why this one has suddenly become popular is because of the following reasons:

Chinese mainland. Three cases of superbugs were found, and an octogenarian died.

On 28 October 2010, the Mainland Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported three cases of infection with superbugs, two of which were seven-month-old babies from Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and the other was an 83-year-old man from Fujian Province who suffered from lung cancer. The disease center said that this was a retrospective investigation, emphasizing that although the elderly were tested for superbugs, the main cause of death was advanced lung cancer, and it was uncertain whether superbugs played a role in the onset of the elderly man's death.

Excerpt from Encyclopedia.

Superbugs do not refer to a specific type of bacteria, but to those bacteria that are resistant to a variety of antibiotics, and its accurate name should be "multidrug-resistant bacteria". These bacteria have a strong resistance to antibiotics and can escape the danger of being killed.

At present, the superbugs that are of particular concern are: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (MDRSSP), vancomycin enterococci (VRE), multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB), multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB), and the newly discovered Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying the NDM-1 gene.

Since most of the antibiotics do not work on them, superbugs have caused great harm to human health.

Diseases caused by germs were no longer a deadly threat to humans, and antibiotics** were effective in every infectious disease, but this was before antibiotics were misused. Every year, 50% of antibiotics in the world are abused, and the proportion in China is even close to 80%. It is precisely because of the abuse of drugs that the germs quickly adapt to the antibiotic environment, and various superbugs are born one after another.

In the past, a patient could survive with a few dozen units of penicillin, but now millions of units of penicillin are ineffective for the same condition. Antibiotics cannot be controlled due to infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria, which eventually leads to the death of the patient. In the 60s, about 7 million people died each year from infectious diseases worldwide, and this number rose to 20 million at the beginning of this century.

The number of deaths from sepsis has risen by 89 per cent, with the majority dying from difficulties with medication caused by superbugs. Efforts have been made to find a new drug to defeat the superbug, but it has not worked. Moreover, as the world gradually reaches a consensus on the misuse of antibiotics, the status and efficacy of antibiotics are questioned and strictly regulated.

While the germs spread, the research and development of antibiotics gradually stalled. Losing the once powerful antibiotics, people began to look for inspiration to fight diseases from the simple treatment methods of the past. Finding a healthy and natural ** that uses human autoimmunity to defend against the attack of superbugs has become a new consensus of many people about disease.

The root causes of superbugs are genetics and variation.

Organisms will pass on most of their traits to the next generation when they reproduce, but the next generation will have some variations. These variations mainly refer to changes in genetic material. Variation is random and non-directional (i.e., good or bad).

The environment makes natural selection for these offspring. After the survival of the fittest, the offspring that are more suitable for the environment are selected.

The direct cause of superbugs is the heavy use of antibiotics in humans, which has screened out many bacteria with strong drug resistance. When one day, the bacteria become resistant to all antibiotics, the bacteria are superbugs. Because there is no medicine left to kill it.

The use of antibiotics in humans has accelerated the rate of mutation, which in turn has accelerated the creation of superbugs. Antimicrobial peptides are just one of the most effective drugs that have been developed. The speed at which new drugs are being developed is far less than the rate at which bacteria mutate.

The misuse of antibiotics causes the virus to produce antibodies and mutate, which is beyond the scope of human medical treatment, and there may be other factors in the mutation process, such as climate warming.

If it is not the misuse of antibiotics, it is a genetic mutation, but the probability of a natural genetic mutation is very low, unless molecular means are used.
