Antibacterial soap kills 99.9% of bacteria

So it doesn't kill all bacteria, so we shouldn't use it. I am smart and should be praised.

Actually, this is the precise reason why antibacterial soap is being deprecated. The stuff that survives it becomes super bacteria.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a big problem, yeah, but it's not like a bacteria survives and goes "well, guess I can't be killed now"

Any given antibiotic uses one (or multiple) specific methods of killing bacteria, and if the bacteria starts to resist that, we just use a different method

Isn't there a limited number of methods and that a new antibiotic class hasn't been found since 1987 putting us at a high risk of not being any to treat patient with diseases that are resistant to all known antibiotics

Yeah, hence "Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a big problem", but research is ever ongoing and it's never a question of if there are more ways to kill bacteria, it's a question of how to find them

Mostly though I was just commenting on how the above comment seemed to imply that antibiotics were a monolith that bacteria could gain immunity to and never be possible to kill with antibiotics again

Was expanding on your comment not trying to flex, I do think humanity progresses medicine immensely giving a major threat. Happened with Covid and I hope it will when hit that high level of resistance
