observer Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Seems global mobility has struck again; with the importation of an anti-biotic resistant super bug, allegedley imported from cheap operations in India, where a more casual attitude to the use of anti-biotics is thought to have created a resistant strain. Time to tighten up our borders or is already too late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry hayes Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Too late. However, having lived through many, many scares, I have the feeling this is not as catastrophic as it sounds. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 So which part of it, don't you believe Asp? The part that says that a genetic mutation has been caused by the misuse of anti-biotics in India, where they can be obtained without prescription? Or the bit where they're claiming patients are returning from cheap cosmetic surgery in India, carrying this infection? Or the bit where they claim it's resistant to all but a couple of really strong anti-biotics? The recent pandemic scare, with the Mexican Flu, was actually a pandemic, and demonstrated the phenomenal global spread of such an organism in today's global village - it was sheer luck that that particular strain proved non-lethal.

Lt Kije Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Genetic mutation can happen anywhere in the world Obs, this one happened in asia,next time it could be here, back to your favourite subject again. Theirs a book you can read, The origin of species its all about genetic mutation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 The genetic mutation was caused by the cavalier use of anti-biotics (sold over the counter in India); in this country, Doctors have been advised to limit their use.

observer Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 If anti-biotics are not taken as a fukll course for the prescribed period, the bacteria has an opportunity to mutate and develope a resistance - if fiolk can buy and take them like dolly mixtures - problems will occur. Not my reasoning, but a Professor interviewed on Newsnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Bacteria mutate all the time. Anti Biotics is not the catalyst. Mutation is natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Errm no, mutation occurs in response to an enviromental catylist, change the enviroment and some species adapt, thus they survive - try reading Darwin's book.
