Which wouldn’t be selective. Do wonder how effective this bacteria is at long term survival in a host. The source sounds specific enough (certain types of water reservoirs?). It could be beneficial to have a way to test for them - even if it’s something like a take home Covid test.
Point being I’m sure many people experience a gut level desire to avoid PD and anything like this.
- gumby 3y agoNot selective, true, but we don’t have any better way to do this today. More selective antibacterial treatments (perhaps some sort of tailored bacteriophage) would be a valuable development for many reasons, and might be just over the horizon. Unfortunately antibiotics are not especially lucrative, and the broader the spectrum (just what we don’t want) the more opportunities to get some revenue. I suspect a breath test would be possible as is available for H Pylori. > a gut level desire to avoid PD Thank you for this.
