Existing Drugs Fight Antibiotic-Resistant Bugs 110
sciencehabit writes "Medical experts have been powerless to stop the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and are increasingly desperate to develop novel drugs. But a new study finds that smarter use of current antibiotics could offer a solution. Researchers were able to keep resistant bacteria from thriving by alternating antibiotics to specifically exploit the vulnerabilities that come along with resistance—a strategy that could extend the lifespan of existing drugs to continue fighting even the most persistent pathogens."

Because, you know, bacteria aren't intelligent.
Have you considered that maybe it's you who just doesn't go to the kind of places the smart bacteria frequent?
