The quote accurately begins: "Neither reducing the use of antibiotics nor discovery of new ones may be sufficient strategies to avoid the post-antibiotic era."

The quote accurately begins:
"Neither reducing the use of antibiotics nor discovery of new ones may be sufficient strategies to avoid the post-antibiotic era."
This can have a different meaning from your slightly abbreviated version - the "may" has more ambiguity and in context means they may fail. Your shortened version more suggests the strategies cannot succeed. The authors must themselves understand this stuff to a good extent and follow their assessment "this is because..." Your questions are to a different statement "couldnt they succeed like this...?"
Maybe
- steve19 8y agoI did NOT abbreviate, tamper or shorten the quote. I copy and pasted from the article. See "CONCLUSIONS" on page 15. The author(s) appears to have abbreviated themselves in the conclusion.
