So I don’t know if anyone else has heard of this yet, but apparently there are new strains of bacteria that are resistant to every type of antibiotic we throw at them, and health officials are starting to freak out.
A new enzyme, NDM-1, has been found to enable bacteria to become resistant to all the stuff we’ve developed so far, and thus has the potential to screw over the human race, experts say. The strain is said to have originated in India and has been found in Pakistan, the U.K., and apparently Canada (back in Vancouver in February—it’s surprising not more people were infected with all the Olympic insanity going down then).

So who knows if this is going to be another Antrhax/SARS/Bird Flu/Swine Flu thing or if it’s going to turn into something out of a Camus novel. Either way, interesting stuff.
