This resistance scares me a great deal, especially as a new dad. I'm hopeful that in the coming years we'll be able to target bacteria and viruses more specifically using nano-technology and other tools at a cost effective level (admittedly I don't have a lot of knowledge in this area but I'm hopeful.)

If all else fails, I guess we'll depend on the cycles of nature's adaptations and break out a new set of antibacterials every 50 years or so depending on the resistance trends we see crop up and hope we don't lose too many humans in the process. At any rate, I'm glad lots of smart people are working on this problem.
