I agree with you entirely. Fwiw, however, the top reddit commentor feels that this specific paper is bullshit science: So, i'm currently reading through the paper (and i'll leave comments where appropriate), but the immediate thing I noticed when reading through the Methods section is that one of the antibiotics they used as a general comparator is ciprofloxacin (Cip), which is also a herbicide. It's a dual herbicide/antibiotic, as it inhibits DNA gyrase activity in both plants and bacteria (we use it fairly often in our plant lab as a growth inhibitor). I feel like, if not controlled for, this could mess with their results. Edit: Whoa, that's a bit strange. In their Culturing Conditions section, they state they only used Cip with the bacteria and not the other antibiotics. That is definitely going to mess with your results. https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/9nivyf/a_new_study_finds_that_bacteria_develop/ https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/9nivyf/a_new_study...
