Is this something new? I've been out of nursing for 20 years and we were concerned about drug-resistant bugs 30 years ago, thanks to over-prescribing and misuse of antibiotic. Stupid people/stupid doctors giving antibiotics for a common cold; people getting 7-10 days' worth of drugs stopping after 3-4 days because they "feel better" then saving the remainder for "the next time I get sick." I don't know how many people understand that resistance not only affects the survivors of a regimen, but they can also pass the resistant DNA on to other bacteria other than their "offspring."
I think phages are definitely the way to go because if the bacteria become resistant to it, the phage itself can mutate into something that will overcome that resistance. Antibiotics that are just chemical compounds with no reproductive abilities (like penicillin) are unable to do that.
@red rum He isn't. Yes, bacteria can develop resistance to phages, but considering there are many different ways bacteria can overcome antibiotics but only 1 or 2 to overcome phages the chance of it happening is already drastically lower. But much more importantly, phages are by definition harmless to humans and thus much easier to discover, produce and refine compared to new antibiotics. Many thousands of antibiotics have been discovered in the past 70 years, 75% of them from actinomycetes, but almost all of them never made it into actual medicine because they turned out to have to many risky side-effects. After all it's one thing whether a bacteria excretes a novel compound capable of killing known pathogenic bacteria, and an entirely different thing whether it can do that inside a human body without killing or seriously poisoning said human at the dose needed to kill the pathogens. Vancomycin and the streptomyces strain which produced it had been known for 60 years, which was when it was discovered in the jungle of Borneo, however at the time it's side-effects, many of them quite serious were considered unacceptable and thus it remained shelved until several decades later antibiotics resistance had grown to the point that Vancomycin's serious side-effects were being outweighed by the risk of dying from highly resistant strains of bacteria, and it was finally turned into a product and came on the market. On top of that, although several dozen different antibiotics exist, they're almost all part of just 7 or 8 different families of antibiotics that are based on the same chemical scaffolding with slightly different variations. Once a bacteria become resistant to a certain antibiotic they usually become resistant to all other antibiotics from that same family too. But no such thing would exist with phages, as they're all unique.
This is why we need to put strong development into chemical nanotechnology. Not talking nanites here, but something relatively simple... Say you were to take an antibiotic, and then take silver, which has its own antimicrobial properties without modification, now, make a nanostructure that can attatch to the antibiotic... Now you not only combine their powers but you could, if done properly, give an antibiotic a spearhead to punch through the cellular walls of different bacteria. As we get better at this, we can engineer more complex nanochemical mechanisms for optimising human health. Much better and more realistic solution than nanobots. It's all just chemistry.
This made me reflect on a couple of things, tuberculosis spreading through the Russian drug addict population and a USA Facebook friend who spoke of a very unpleasant STD which he had difficulty treating despite many different antibiotics. A resistant bug will hit us like covid, sooner or later.

I've been worried for over 30 years, ever since reading "When Antibiotics Fail" and The Coming Plague". The sad, yet maddening thing is that antibiotic resistance was known as far back as 1940 when a strain of E. coli was found to be able to inactivate penicillin by producing Penicillinase. That was over 80 years ago!

As an experienced English teacher with a particular interest in pronunciation, it has to be said that Dr Cornelia Lansdorfer is difficult to listen to due to her rising inflexion at the end of each phrase. For many native English speakers, this does not sound natural or comfortable and may well detract from the contents. Before anybody criticises me, I do not mean to offend anybody by pointing this out and I am well aware that Dr Lansdorfer is not a native speaker of English. Nevertheless, in order to make such important material accesible to an international audience, clarity in presentation is a matter of importance. Please feel free to comment on what I have said but, please, understand that my criticism is intended to be constructive and therefore do not accuse me of any form of prejudice.
I was a also deflected by her important information, exactly because of her linguistic inflection. Oddly in old Hollywood when the change from silent films to speaking technology- many film stars employed voice coaches and studied everything from diction to accents. Rock Hudson had such a high voice that one of his biographers said he literally went to the berkshires for 30 days smoking like a fiendish dog- screaming like a wolf- and downing grain alcohol to augment and change his voice: it worked. The point being is that especially with people under 30 the voice patterns and speech inflections prevent them from high earning opportunities. I think your position is a true statement .

@@hindsight2022 I've had 3 different surgeries plus an additional hospitalization in the past 2 1/2 years, no problems at all! The most efficient surgeries I've ever had!😀
Also, an alternative which you have to be careful with, is genetic engineering. The fact that phages already exist is wonderful, because we can in theory take them and modify their genetic code, if we can identify correctly the context and grammatical structure of their genetic language that determines what type of bacteria they are going to be targetted towards... Again, genetics is a language, so you need to understand the cultural context in which the language is applied, and its underlying grammatical structure. If you change part of a paragraph to have words which you think tell it to target a specific bacteria that changes the whole context and it may cease to make sense or create a pathway for mutations to occur that are unwanted and harmful. You could accidentally create the next supervirus that starts attacking humans. You could accidentally ruin a person's immune system and create disease... But if we can understand the language correctly and understand how changing the genes changes the meaning and the context of its genetic code, we can apply this to creating specifically targetted phages that can obliterate bacterial invaders and if you combine this with nanochemicals in a multi-targetted approach... You could entirely wipe out the entire colony of bacteria making sure any resistant mutations are taken care of. Just remember, combatting viruses is an entirely different matter and it's not quite as simple... So we do not want to be the cause of the next deadly epidemic in our effort to win against the bacteria.
Phages are by definition not a risk to humans because they target bacterial receptors and hijack bacterial enzymes and genetic mechanisms. Bacteria, being prokaryotes are fundamentally different from us humans and our eukaryotic cells, so we don't have to worry about phages mutating to suddenly ruin our immune system or even become pathogenic to us.
@@spiritualopportunism4585 Of course they will. No one is denying that, but like I said, antibiotics save millions of lives every day. It's an arms race. As antibiotics become more resistant, we will have to develop new ways to go about killing harmful bacteria, and we are.
because we couldn't isolate as a whole planet to starve it in the first place, alot of different conditions, if we can't rid/protect ourselves as a whole, it'll just keep adapting and circulating, and this may be the intended purpose if it was experimented with, at least for a start. If this keeps going, covid might literally own us all and animals, hopefully it doesn't start affecting plants
Look at India for super bugs epicentre: when in the late 90s and early 2000s ‘outsorcing’ as a concept was at its peak, india started touting itself as the medical tourism capital of the world and tens of thousands of people in aggregate from uk, USA, Canada, Australia, etc went to India for cheaper and quality medical treatment and a large % came back with superbugs in their system from hospitals in india , food in India, etc. Conditions in India are ideal for bacteria and viruses to thrive: unhygienic, over crowded conditions, doctors prescribing antibiotics for everything, and large population.
Foreign people just can't handle bacteria in their environment cus their bodies r used to bacteria-free environments, if u go to a village with dirty water, you'll see that a lot of villagers are resistant
Lots of useful information on antibiotic resistant bacteria - and that was helpful and well presented. Vaccinations? Not so much. There is much to be put out there about their benefits but also their drawbacks also. I half really think this presentation was good!
Susceptibility of the bug to the drug before it's issued is the best way forward for current drugs in use, then more investment in new therapies has to be boosted
Most countries think it is ok to overuse antibiotics, which is why resistance has happened. Dear Doc I feel sick, I think I have a cold, please give me some antibiotics. Yes, of course, Dear patient.

Curious as to why we cured the HIV virus but have utterly FAILED at curing the HSV1 as well as the HSV2 viruses. I know that each virus and each subset have different spike proteins on the outside of their shells so to speak. Keep at it.
HIV has not been cured. They have found antiviral medications to get a person to undetectable on a test but the virus will always be in their system. If they stopped the antiviral medication the virus would then start to replicate itself the same way as when they person was first infected. They will be on those medications the rest of their life. There is no know cure for virus’s at this moment in history. We only know how to elevate the symptoms. The common cold and influenza are virus’s and we haven’t been able to cure tham. Only reduce the symptoms. That is why vaccines are so important. Even when our bodies learn to attack the said virus it will be in our systems for life. Take chicken pox for example, even though our body learns how to fight it in some people it rears its ugly head later in life as shingles. Any of us who have had chickenpox we are at risk for shingles later in life.
Fleming wasn’t the founder for penicillin it was founded 1ooo years ago by a Aba ali sina who was Persian who was the student of rumi who was a great philosopher and poet rumi is well known across the world
That's impossible, after all none of the techniques necessary to identify antibiotics, let alone manufacture them even existed 2 centuries ago, let alone 10 centuries back. In order to prove the existence of penicillin you already need agar plates with bacterial medium and a sterile work area, which didn't even exist a millennium ago.
Bruh microscopes were made in 1500's which could only magnify up to 20x, to see penicillium and bacteria u need atleast 100x and for bacteria a 1000x, its impossible to extract, purify and use penicillin back then, they couldn't have even recognised the thing that created the antibiotic or what it killed

The good news is it’s 2022, and we have artificial intelligence to help us produce new antibiotics and new treatments for diseases. This decade we’re going to figure out a ton of stuff, technologically, medically, etc.
Believe that if you feel comfortable with it. I for one have but one question: What do you think is the bigger incentive for pharmaceutical companies: Creating a cure for a given disease and get a one-time paycheck per patient for it - or sticking with merely treating and alleviating symptoms in order to create lifelong dependencies on their products for consistent albeit slightly smaller paychecks?
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 That’s true, however you’re forgetting about the scientific community. You can’t keep things bottled up forever. Think about the COVID-19 vaccines for example: pharmaceuticals and therapeutics are better for making money but the pharmaceutical companies made the vaccines which have been fundamentally important in the pandemic.
@@salsa564 It's nice to see some optimism these days. However, what you in turn are overlooking is, that unlike more commonly known vaccines, the Covid-19 "vaccine" only lessens the intensity of the symptoms. It does NOT provide immunity as vaccines used to do. Therefore it also falls under therapeutics only - and in doing so proves my point. And yes, I have indeed caught covid despite the so-called "vaccine" and am now struggling with the lingering after-effects of so-called "Long Covid" - something all too convenient for the pharmaceutical industry. Was that intentional on their part in order to create further dependdencies? Maybe. Or maybe not. i don't know. What i can say, however, is that it is mightily convenient for maximizing their profits - something I find despicable since it is playing with the lives and livelyhoods of millions of people to sate their greed. Don't get me wrong, the lessening of the symptoms is a boon - no question about that. However, it is not a vaccine in the sense that the word used to be used in.
Are you being serious or sarcastic right now? Of course they worked. The fact that you’ve believe that they didn’t is ridiculous and based on no scientific evidence.
Likely because we attempt to use them for things like the common cold, and minor infections...

You could accidentally create the next supervirus that starts attacking humans. You could accidentally ruin a person's immune system and create disease...
But if we can understand the language correctly and understand how changing the genes changes the meaning and the context of its genetic code, we can apply this to creating specifically targetted phages that can obliterate bacterial invaders and if you combine this with nanochemicals in a multi-targetted approach... You could entirely wipe out the entire colony of bacteria making sure any resistant mutations are taken care of.
Just remember, combatting viruses is an entirely different matter and it's not quite as simple... So we do not want to be the cause of the next deadly epidemic in our effort to win against the bacteria.
Phages are by definition not a risk to humans because they target bacterial receptors and hijack bacterial enzymes and genetic mechanisms. Bacteria, being prokaryotes are fundamentally different from us humans and our eukaryotic cells, so we don't have to worry about phages mutating to suddenly ruin our immune system or even become pathogenic to us.
They aren't. They're doing what they're meant to do. Harm reduction. It never specified how much "harm reduction" they'd settle for.
I would say they aren't failing us. They save millions of lives every day, even today.
they are using MRNA vaccines now which tells you the old way does not work
Please provide the backup for your statement. Or... are you just parroting propaganda?
as far as vaccines, just look at the red state)blue state statistics to see the covid vaccine helps prevent death & serious hospitalizations
fool, long term the super bugs will only become more resilient.
@@spiritualopportunism4585 Of course they will. No one is denying that, but like I said, antibiotics save millions of lives every day. It's an arms race. As antibiotics become more resistant, we will have to develop new ways to go about killing harmful bacteria, and we are.
I think we need to approach this at a whole day for angle with natural Herbs plantsthat you could go find in your backyard
YES. OR BETTER SAID ... THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN OVER ADMINISTERED/USED/PRESCRIBED
What? Vaccines can be overprescribed? How? Did the overuse of the smallpox vaccine cause a problem? (Yes it did, for smallpox)
TURN CAPS LOCK OFF!!
because we couldn't isolate as a whole planet to starve it in the first place, alot of different conditions, if we can't rid/protect ourselves as a whole, it'll just keep adapting and circulating, and this may be the intended purpose if it was experimented with, at least for a start. If this keeps going, covid might literally own us all and animals, hopefully it doesn't start affecting plants
Look at India for super bugs epicentre: when in the late 90s and early 2000s ‘outsorcing’ as a concept was at its peak, india started touting itself as the medical tourism capital of the world and tens of thousands of people in aggregate from uk, USA, Canada, Australia, etc went to India for cheaper and quality medical treatment and a large % came back with superbugs in their system from hospitals in india , food in India, etc. Conditions in India are ideal for bacteria and viruses to thrive: unhygienic, over crowded conditions, doctors prescribing antibiotics for everything, and large population.
Foreign people just can't handle bacteria in their environment cus their bodies r used to bacteria-free environments, if u go to a village with dirty water, you'll see that a lot of villagers are resistant
Lots of useful information on antibiotic resistant bacteria - and that was helpful and well presented.
Vaccinations? Not so much. There is much to be put out there about their benefits but also their drawbacks also.
I half really think this presentation was good!
Except vaccines teach your immune system to help fight off illness, which he kinda addressed in this documentary, though not in those exact words
Susceptibility of the bug to the drug before it's issued is the best way forward for current drugs in use, then more investment in new therapies has to be boosted
Why are you applying filters to the faces of the people appearing in the documentary??? Lol
Most countries think it is ok to overuse antibiotics, which is why resistance has happened. Dear Doc I feel sick, I think I have a cold, please give me some antibiotics. Yes, of course, Dear patient.
Because glicosphate is killing what the mechanism from where we would get the immunity from" these super bugs"................
Cause people take them all the time instead of depending on there immune system

Antibiotics don’t work on viruses you need a antiviral drug for viruses or just let your immune system do its job
Very good
Evolutionary pressure,good words now here is a question can we put evolutionary pressure on viruses that we vaccinate for?
I know you can have wild polio outbreaks in /from the polio vaccinated ppl,,shedding or as with the COVID vaccines break through cases. If vaccines aren’t up to standard are we going to cause more problems?

Pretty obvious Obsession .
Excellent video and this helps me build a valuable post-industrial knowledge economy ;-) On a serious note superbugs are part of a package of the 4th industrial revolution scientific knowledge economy already built for the 21st century now. That's why during this COVID health crisis, I already had electronic antibiotics/biotechnology/bioengineering/ biomedical technology post-modern innovation ready to deal with it. Last salient point, my country spent the largest deficit in it's history, and can't I provide my own healthcare?

I am all for free market capitalism but drug companies don’t want to do research on a drug that you will only take for a week. They want drugs that you will be on for long periods of time. This is where government is essential. They are the ones who will do what’s best for its people (sometimes) and won’t mind spending billions on doing it.

Yeah, next time I need a triple bypass I'd much rather go to the library, borrow"open heart surgery for dummies" and do it myself. Damn doctors and hospitals, who even needs them, right?

Curious as to why we cured the HIV virus but have utterly FAILED at curing the HSV1 as well as the HSV2 viruses. I know that each virus and each subset have different spike proteins on the outside of their shells so to speak. Keep at it.
When did we "cure" HIV? We only made ART(anti retroviral therapy) but it only slows down the infection and doesn't eradicate it
HIV has not been cured. They have found antiviral medications to get a person to undetectable on a test but the virus will always be in their system. If they stopped the antiviral medication the virus would then start to replicate itself the same way as when they person was first infected. They will be on those medications the rest of their life. There is no know cure for virus’s at this moment in history. We only know how to elevate the symptoms. The common cold and influenza are virus’s and we haven’t been able to cure tham. Only reduce the symptoms. That is why vaccines are so important. Even when our bodies learn to attack the said virus it will be in our systems for life. Take chicken pox for example, even though our body learns how to fight it in some people it rears its ugly head later in life as shingles. Any of us who have had chickenpox we are at risk for shingles later in life.

Fleming wasn’t the founder for penicillin it was founded 1ooo years ago by a Aba ali sina who was Persian who was the student of rumi who was a great philosopher and poet rumi is well known across the world
That's impossible, after all none of the techniques necessary to identify antibiotics, let alone manufacture them even existed 2 centuries ago, let alone 10 centuries back. In order to prove the existence of penicillin you already need agar plates with bacterial medium and a sterile work area, which didn't even exist a millennium ago.
Bruh microscopes were made in 1500's which could only magnify up to 20x, to see penicillium and bacteria u need atleast 100x and for bacteria a 1000x, its impossible to extract, purify and use penicillin back then, they couldn't have even recognised the thing that created the antibiotic or what it killed

The good news is it’s 2022, and we have artificial intelligence to help us produce new antibiotics and new treatments for diseases. This decade we’re going to figure out a ton of stuff, technologically, medically, etc.
Believe that if you feel comfortable with it. I for one have but one question:
What do you think is the bigger incentive for pharmaceutical companies: Creating a cure for a given disease and get a one-time paycheck per patient for it - or sticking with merely treating and alleviating symptoms in order to create lifelong dependencies on their products for consistent albeit slightly smaller paychecks?
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 That’s true, however you’re forgetting about the scientific community. You can’t keep things bottled up forever. Think about the COVID-19 vaccines for example: pharmaceuticals and therapeutics are better for making money but the pharmaceutical companies made the vaccines which have been fundamentally important in the pandemic.
And if one variable is wrong....
@@salsa564 It's nice to see some optimism these days. However, what you in turn are overlooking is, that unlike more commonly known vaccines, the Covid-19 "vaccine" only lessens the intensity of the symptoms. It does NOT provide immunity as vaccines used to do. Therefore it also falls under therapeutics only - and in doing so proves my point. And yes, I have indeed caught covid despite the so-called "vaccine" and am now struggling with the lingering after-effects of so-called "Long Covid" - something all too convenient for the pharmaceutical industry. Was that intentional on their part in order to create further dependdencies? Maybe. Or maybe not. i don't know. What i can say, however, is that it is mightily convenient for maximizing their profits - something I find despicable since it is playing with the lives and livelyhoods of millions of people to sate their greed.
Don't get me wrong, the lessening of the symptoms is a boon - no question about that. However, it is not a vaccine in the sense that the word used to be used in.
@@salsa564 imagine thinking a prophylactic with less than 1% absolute risk reduction for the average person could be deemed "fundamentally important"
Lol they fail because they couldn’t work and should not have been authorised
Geert was right
The covid vaccines work very very well actually.
That’s a ridiculous statement
Maybe because they didn't work in the beginning?
Are you being serious or sarcastic right now? Of course they worked. The fact that you’ve believe that they didn’t is ridiculous and based on no scientific evidence.
BS AGAIN and again.
