Bacteria, you win

This particular subject is of interest to me, as I am simultaneously taking one of our Integrative Medicine classes and we've just covered Infectious Disease. While a thrilling (and frightening) subject, what was reiterated throughout the first 3 lectures was that bacteria is not going anywhere and in fact, is winning the war. So, upon reading this website article on various bacterial organisms, the following statement stood out to me: "Humans thought that antibiotics would end infectious diseases, but the overuse of drugs has resulted in the selection of drug resistant bacteria. They didn't realize that this was only the first battle, and now the war is ready to begin." Apparently my class of 12 is not the only group aware of this anomaly. So, as practitioners of medicine, be it Eastern or Western, we are now an integral component to a community in which bacterial, infectious disease is prominent- not only as practitioners, but as members of the universe. Dr. Robinson (president at AIMC, retired surgeon, and teacher of IM courses) has stated in his biomedicine book, "Bacteria, viruses, and fungi may be the key to life, but they are also trying to outsmart and destroy us. They do not need sex, and they have mastered the quest for long life. Some spores can last thousands of years and still be alive."
Great. He lists at least 5 examples of how the conflict between humans and bacteria has persisted, which support the article we've read online for this class. Essentially, bacteria that were sensitive to antibiotics are now resistant. Bacteria can exchange successfully mutated segments of DNA with other bacteria= the entire colony becomes resistant. In addition microorganisms have baffled the immune system response, affecting how it battles viruses.
I suppose it is important to be aware of such dynamics, especially as budding medical practitioners, but sometimes... ignorance is bliss.
