Incidentally, I think the intuitive idea that the last resort antibiotics are the most powerful ones is a bit of a misconception. The ones used as a last resort tend to be the more toxic ones and the ones that have to be given intravenously. The reason they still work is probably because they were used sparingly while there were better alternatives available. That delayed the development of resistance.
