Antibiotic resistance spawns superbugs? What else can humans do?

When it comes to superbugs, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is its invincibility, and they are even frightened by the plot of the movie, fearing that one day humans will be occupied by bacteria. So can humans defeat superbugs?

Superbugs. The so-called "superbugs" do not refer to a specific type of bacteria, but to those bacteria that are resistant to a variety of antibiotics, so the accurate name should be "multidrug-resistant bacteria". As we all know, the emergence of superbugs and the misuse of antibiotics are the biggest drivers.

But at the moment superbugs have formed. The world's "superbugs" must be resistant to at least three or more classes of antibiotics at the same time, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a superbug, multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis are representatives.

How scary are superbugs?

Despite the "super" name, it does not have superpowers in terms of pathogenicity, and still has the same symptoms of infection, but the known antibiotics have no way to take it. If the body's immune system is weak, infection with "superbugs" is likely to cause severe inflammatory reactions.

Three ways to save humanity.

1. Vaccines.

Vaccines are used to protect against superbugs, with a clear lag. Because superbugs are needed, according to the antigenic characteristics of superbugs, select the dominant antigen with good immune protection effect, and develop a "superbug" vaccine. While the results of clinical trials of this vaccine are obvious, they don't really kill superbugs.

2. New antibiotics.

The search for new antibiotics is a race against superbugs. When a new antibiotic is found one day, after a period of use, it is still facing the situation of superbugs being resistant again. So it's endless.

3. Ultimate**: bacteriophages.

A bacteriophage is a virus that can attack bacteria and is naturally present in the human body and lives in symbiosis with humans. After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, bacteriophages have become an invincible killer of bacteria, and they must be successful, and superbugs are no exception. Where there are bacteria, there are bacteriophages.

However, in order for phages to be developed into drugs for clinical use, they also need to be fully evaluated for safety and efficacy, and approved by the drug regulatory authorities. But don't worry too much about superbugs, because they have natural enemies, and that is "bacteriophages"!

Antibiotic resistance does give birth to some superbugs, but as long as the human body does not use antibiotics for a long time, such superbugs will not appear, so human beings should not use them for a long time in the future.

The chance of this happening is still very small, but if it is still possible to continue to do this in the future, if you want to prevent this kind of thing, then you must usually take as little antibiotic as possible, and do not always use one antibiotic.

Humans can reduce the use of antibiotics and invent new drugs to replace them. The production of superbugs is due to the heavy use of antibiotics, so inventing new drugs to replace antibiotics can reduce the production of superbugs.

With bacterial resistance on the rise, scientists have warned that we may soon be back in the dark ages of medicine"! In other words, even in the face of some of the most basic bacterial infections, current drug methods will not be able to control them.

In order to prevent the apocalyptic scenario of "superbugs", many teams of scientists are developing new ** that do not require drugs, such as antimicrobial materials, light, and even predatory becteria.

This is for sure, so why reduce the use of antibiotics, for every antibiotic used, the virus will produce antibodies to this antibiotic, and once a superbug comes at some point, even if you haven't used antibiotics, <>

Superbug infection or not-infectedness has nothing to do with whether or not you have taken antibiotics. You get a superbug infection if you take antibiotics every day, and if you haven't used antibiotics in your life, superbugs should get infected too.

The term "superbug" refers to multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR), or totally drug-resistant bacteria (PDR). Multidrug-resistant bacteria are not susceptible to class 3 or more antibiotics, while total resistance refers to bacteria that are not susceptible to all current antibiotics.

Once superbugs are created, they can be infected by everyone, regardless of whether antibiotics have been used or not. People with strong immunity may have a lower chance of infection.

With or without antibiotics, superbugs can infect you. There are two main theories about superbugs, one is caused by the misuse of antibiotics, and the other is that superbugs existed before antibiotics were discovered.

The chance of infection is lower than in people who take antibiotics regularly. But it is also possible to be infected, and it is very dangerous to be infected. It depends on whether your physique can carry it. In short, stop abusing antibiotics.

Every individual's immunity is different, and the random rate of being infected by superbugs is very large, which does not mean that if someone else is infected, you will definitely be infected.

The main reason is that this bacterium has developed resistance to the existing antibiotics on the market. In other words, antibiotics can't kill it, and humans have no choice but to let it develop.

The super thing is that this bacterium is no longer afraid of the attack of antibiotics and other drugs, and its vitality is extremely strong, and if it multiplies in large quantities, it will cause great harm to the human body.

These bacteria will have a strong resistance to antibiotics, so they cannot be used with antibiotics after invading the human body**, and finally cause damage to the human body.
