Re: Antibiotics search to focus on sea bed


	Quote: Prof Marcel Jaspars said the team hoped to find "the next generation" of infection-fighting drugs. England's chief medical officer has warned of an "antibiotic apocalypse" with too few new drugs in the pipeline. Few samples have ever been collected from ocean trenches - deep, narrow valleys in the sea floor which can plunge down to almost 6.8 miles (11km).

Yes but the reason we have a shortage of up and coming antibiotics is because we have abused the current range of antibiotics.

I suspect we would have reached this point anyway, but it would have been a question of when.

Well a good plague will hopefully cull the world of all the Daily mail types who are dependant on antibacterial wipes.
