In last 10 years the alarms from doctors and health care research institutes have been ringing with bigger and bigger sound.

Antibiotics is problem. Known as the kill all thing for infections, problem is misuse and overuse of it that develop resistance in bacterias, in short the bacterias learn and mutate and pass it on to next generations to resist the antibiotics. The problem is to develop new antibiotica forms that can cope with resistant bacteria.

Globaly, it is especially a problem in USA, Netherlands and particularily Greece, where in Greece they have some very very nasty resistant bacterias that no antibiotics will bite on at all, the have become 100% resistant !!

Given the use of antibiotics and lack of alternatives.. this is serious stuff.
It was on the news this evening, and here's a background info link I found, there are plenty out there and prolly some more updated ones:

So... the doctors are really freaked out about this around the world... because, they just run out of new antibiotics to cure the resistant mutations, and it can cause that even currently benign bacterial infections can become very dangerous again.

Bummer...
