We live today, more than ever, in a world full of dangers, and these dangers continue to increase as they continue to evolve. We have known that viruses, such as Ebola and influenza, can adapt and resist extinction. In today's world, experts warn that humanity has entered the "post-antibiotic era", which means that hundreds of thousands of people will suffer and die every year as a result of bacterial infections that antibiotics once could easily and easily crush.
The World Health Organization (WHO) "antibiotic resistance" is one of the greatest threats of the 21st century. The World Economic Forum describes it as a "potential disaster" for human health and the world economy. Only one case has caused such a bacterial threat - Staphylococcus aureus, which has resisted several antigens, has killed more than 11,000 people in the United States in 2011 alone. In addition to other resistant bacteria, the virus kills hundreds of thousands of people each year around the world.
The question arises: How did this resistance arise? The answer is: a combination of natural selection (when an antibiotic attacks a group of bacteria, ultimately survival) and a mechanism of evolution (incompatible with any intuition, logic, and never thought of developmental evolutionists) recently unveiled, Horizontal of genes ". What this term means is that genes pass accidentally between bacteria and other species, even among the rest of the kingdoms of creatures. This method helps organisms acquire genetic properties from other organisms without being descendants of the latter. Genomic sequencing reveals that this horizontal transfer of DNA has a profound significance in the history of life, and is particularly common among bacteria, and its ramifications have been the spread of antibiotic resistance genes.
With the beginning of the 1960s, Japanese scientist Tsutomu Watanabe predicted the spread of the "antibiotic resistance" phenomenon. After years of strenuous efforts by a Japanese team under his leadership, in 1963 he published an unprecedented paper describing the phenomenon as "a model of infectious heredity."
Historically, Japanese efforts in this regard have begun following the end of the Second World War, with the incidence of "bacillary dysentery" in this country.
The sequel to the paper version....
