There has always been a new class, new strain, new something, of antibiotics coming on-line.

This story could have been, and in fact was, written in the 70’s, when I started out farming.

I took it seriously back then, but this story has had more than 40 annual updates, and it still reads the same as it did way back then.

Yup, know it well.

Are you talking about the same specific chemistry in the article I linked, or just in principle?

I understand the circumspection. Still, since I had read the story I felt a responsibility to post reference it.

I was/am speaking in principle, not specifically.

Specifically it reasonable to assume we will run into bugs from time to time that are difficult beyond anything we’ve encountered. Still, we will eventually prevail.
