Antibiotic resistance is a fact, what else can you expect given the game rules. What is less well known is that majority of people do not need antibiotics anyway and that majority of those who were taking them probably didn't need them too. Advice that recommended AB's before for stuff like otitis, helicobacter infection or even common cold (given for this disease because of opportunistic infections) is now changing without any problems, if anything, for the better. AB's should be saved for those few moments in life where you really need them and is not something you want to do every few months like majority of people, particularly kids. There are far better ways to strengthen your body and immune system without risks that are overwhelming with AB's (which are way better known today after we have some bits of microbiome) - nutrition and supplements. Even measures like using viruses as antibiotics are probably better then popping AB's like candies. This news is probably beginning of the "next big big pharma thingy" that will come to rescue and will typically, yet again, use inappropriate tool for the job. The only good that will come out of it are probably not going to be, however, lives saved but science advancement.
