There are already antibiotic resistant bacteria. Have you ever heard of MRSA? That is a bacteria (its actually a S. aureus bacterial strain, similar to what was used in the study this post is about) which is resistant to basically all of the antibiotics that we use (there are a few last ditch ones which may work). Well it is a problem already and there are a few working antibiotics left. How can we slow the process? We can't, but we can work to identify new antibiotics, or other ways to kill the bacteria (maybe something as crazy as nano-robots will be the solution far in the future!)

Many thanks to both of you for telling me this! The future looks grim with these super strong bacterias.. Let's hope there's going to be a breakthrough in the near future to make sure these bacterias won't spread around like wildfire.
Well there are breakthroughs... like the one this post is about!
