stock here: So glad to see at least the Tech Portion of my Alma Mater not presenting "full woke" bullshit.
Summary: bad bacteria (12 of 14) can be manipulated to be more susceptible to "designer" antibiotics, whilst only 30% of good bacteria will be influenced but anticipated future antibiotics.
This is huge, if true, because we now know the importance of the gut bacteria in out overall physical and mental well being. So wiping out those good ones, with classic anti-biotics is bad, a double edged sword.
Eat a pro-biotic and anti-cancer diet. Sheesh, especially if you got the injection(s).

Led by the McCormick School of Engineering’s Danielle Tullman-Ercek, the investigators studied the components that make up the shell of bacterial organelles called microcompartments. They found how the geometry of the resulting structures can be altered with small changes to the components, as well as how that geometry change influences their function.
“Given that 12 of the 14 pathogens that cause the most threatening infectious diseases have these microcompartments, compared to only around 30 percent of bacteria more generally, the systems are hypothesized to be a potential antibiotic target that would allow pathogens, but not all the ‘good’ bacteria, to be killed,” said Tullman-Ercek, professor of chemical and biological engineering. “Our work indicates these systems are promising antibiotic targets and, from an engineering biology standpoint, that we now understand more rules for how to alter the geometry to make nanostructures of all shapes and sizes.”
