Bacteriophage Virus Killer "Superbug", Bacteria That Cause Human Extinction

in health •  6 years ago 

Humans are indeed the top predator in life on this earth, there is no animal / flora capable of conquering them. And the cause of human extinction can only occur if there are natural disasters, world wars and disease outbreaks such as the Black Death case which kills one third to two thirds of the European Population (more than 200 million people).

In modern times, harmful bacteria Superbug can also be a source of human mass death. So what kind of strange creatures are these Superbugs?

Superbug is a type of harmful bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics. As we know the discovery of antibiotic drugs has saved people from the horrors of various kinds of bacteria that can cause illness, infection to death. Antibiotics are commonly used to kill "bacteria" and become a weapon of humanity.

Even so, but never underestimate the ability of bacteria, because bacteria are living creatures that can evolve, the more antibiotics are used, bacteria will evolve which makes them resistant to antibiotics. So the time to go to the doctor was given a message right? Antibiotics must be taken until they are finished, even though they are already in the body.

This is what is called Superbug, they began to spread throughout the world, in America alone more than 23,000 people have been killed each year due to Superbug. It is estimated that in 2050 Superbug will result in greater deaths from cancerous malignancies, if humans cannot find weapons to defeat Superbug, it could cause human extinction.

Until there came hope, the discovery of bacteriophage as a Superbug bacterial killer virus

There is a patient who is infected with the superbug bacteria on his chest, this patient has no hope anymore. The Pseudomonas Aeruginosa bacterium, one of the most frightening bacteria, infects its chest cavity, this bacterium is resistant to antibiotics and can even survive in alcohol gels. After a year suffering from this patient injected thousands of bacteriophage into his chest cavity, a week later this bacterial infection was completely gone.

Can a superbug become immune to bacteriophage?

Yes, it is true they can become immune to bacteriophage, fortunately when they become immune to bacteriophage precisely the resistance to antibiotics decreases.

In this way, humans can reuse antibiotics, like playing cat and mouse, bro. Unfortunately this trial still has not been authorized and Pharma is still reluctant to fund this ultimate weapon. Oh yes to just know, how rich is the appearance of Bacteriophage?

If you go to high school, take a science major and continue to study chapter biology for viruses and monera, surely you will see this picture.

Yes, the picture below is a form of the deadliest creature in the world, Bacteriophage or phage in short.

The shape is strange, bro, rich is made by "someone", the head is in the form of an icosahedron, the contents of which are the genetic material of the virus, with the tail of the injection inside. Luckily this virus only attacks bacteria and will never be able to attack human cells.

They kill 40% of the bacteria in the sea every day, they inject their genetic material into the body of the bacteria and multiply in it, after breeding they make endolysin which destroys the body of the bacteria. What stands for if you explain? Try to open a high school biology book again for more details. Ok, it's just like that, about Bacteriophage.
