Apparently. Some bacteria in Chinese pigs is immune to everything.

Merry Xmas, Scumple.

Fuck - Huxley beat you to it. I had a bet with myself when I fired us Ratz that you would be rubbing your hands gleefully and double posting about this all over the shop.

You LOSE!

The worst thing about the bacteria that are immune to everything, is that they can swap genes with other non-related bacteria, so the immunity spreads across species.

On the other hand, if antibiotics become useless, they will stop using them, and the immune genes will dwindle as soon as they stop.
If they outlawed animal use now, that process could begin now, and it would dramatically affect the proliferation of immunity genes.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
