Seeing the link between this enabling tech and so many problems ... perhaps there's a glimmer of hope on climate change. Now, funding? Hmmm ... Thanks, Brian.

So it's a LOT harder (but probably not impossible) for bacteria to develop resistance. Unfortunately, sometimes human cells respond the same way that bacteria do - by dying. Which is why research into toxicity is absolutely necessary.
