blike Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 NewScientist is reporting that "Doctors in the US have detected the first Staphyloccocus aureus bacteria that are highly resistant to vancomycin, known as the antibiotic of last resort." Won't be long until none of our drugs work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenel Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 "Pass the dutchie to the left hand side".....don't even start. Blike is right, if we can become immune to antibiotics, why wouldn't the bacteria, or virus evolve with immunities to our medicine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragoon Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Well why shouldn't it? We can become immune, and so can it. Why do you think new medications come out constantly? But the thing is which i believe is you can only get each type of virus once and not get the exact same kind again because your immune system should then know how to fight it off. They make the medications much stronger then the virus is so the virus is killed before it has a chance to become immune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
