‘We are not done developing antibiotics, forever’

This is under the assumption that we won’t find something better/works differently than antibiotics. Some are theorizing that CRISPR-based approaches could potentially disrupt it and bacteria may not be able to adapt to that kind of approach.

Lots of this is speculation of course, but given that antibiotics aren’t that old of an invention, I find it unlikely that they won’t be discarded to the dustbin of history (at least with the definition and methodologies by which they operate now)
