Time Travelling Bacteria

10 years ago I think most Doctors were still of the opinion that Bacteria are no longer a problem. Scientists and Doctors have been concerned that overuse of antibiotics is creating immunity in bacteria. Now it turns out that Dirt holds bacteria that are resistant to Antibiotics given at a level that would kill a human. Turns out Superbugs exist in the Earth's soil that are able to survive through time and through everything that humans have been able to attack them with so far. How appropriate for this to be exposed just as Pluto passes into an Earth Sign. I think the Uranus-Neptune mutual reception is really letting us know how vast the Universe is.

I found this from an interesting blog about microbiology. Who knew this stuff could be so interesting? Here's the link: http://microbiologybytes.wordpress.com/2008/06/11/salmonella-and-tomatoes/
