    No, not really. It’s only a matter of time before they are resistant to this one too, and I don’t know that we can help it even if distribution antibiotics carefully.

    A war like Ukraine or a Genocide like Gaza tends to speed up bacterial resistance a lot, while breakthroughs are rare. I don’t see anything in this article that says it will be more difficult for bugs to become resistant to it. All bugs evolve constantly.

      If you alternate between uses it responsibly it would be unlikely that anything would arise to be immune to both types.

      You use type A to kill most things and then Type B to kill those resistant to type A.

      Something would need to arise to be both resistant to Type A and Type B at the same time which would be highly unlikely.

        Name me one thing humans have been 100% reponsible with, from nuclear weapons to airplanes. Especially when it comes to antibiotics, people are going to take what they have available.

        So as was saying, it will always be a race.
