Now, computational research at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, shows that one reason could be significant genetic transfer between bacteria in our ecosystems and to humans.

Credit: Vaughn Cooper PITTSBURGH, July 16, 2021 – For the first time ever, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine discovered that phages–tiny viruses that attack bacteria–are key to initiating rapid bacterial evolution leading to the emergence of treatment-resistant “superbugs.”

Modern hospitals and antibiotic treatment alone did not create all the antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria we see today. Instead, selection pressures from before widespread use of antibiotics influenced some of them to develop, new research has discovered.

Last week geneticist Dr Charles Steward shared with us his experiences of searching for a genetic cause for his children’s rare neurological diseases. While it is a very rare form of epilepsy, it is such a cheap and harmless medication that it is often used as a first-line therapy for infants in intensive care who have no genetic diagnosis.
