Lets hope this bacterium doesn't escape and become an epidemic. It's too bad they didn't discover
a bacterium that kills all other drug resistant bacterium. I could celebrate that.

If you have been to Lechuguilla stay away from me! :yikes: just kidding. tncaver, I've got something that will take those bugs out. In fact I could clean the cave if needed. :big grin:

But does it work inside humans without killing the host? :laughing:

There is anecdotal evidence that this is possible. If I cleaned the cave I would be in it while cleaning. Without protection. So it won't kill me on my skin.

I would think it is highly unlikely the government would ever allow you to kill off the bacteria. There is no telling
what other organisms would also perish and they definitely prefer science of anything else. :argue:
