Chapter 100 Top Antibiotics
antibiotic.
A drug that everyone is familiar with.
Penicillin, cephalosporins, amoxicillin.
No matter who you are, you can probably name one or two antibiotics.
Since 1928, Dr. Fleming, also known as Lafayette, known as the miracle doctor of penicillium, discovered penicillin.
Antibiotics have become the most powerful weapon in the war between humans and bacteria.
It is strange to say that antibiotics do not come from other places, but from the bacteria themselves.
There will also be wars between bacteria for better growth.
However, what bacteria and germs are fighting for is not desire.
Their competition stems from their survival instinct, and they compete for living space and nutrients.
In order to kill other bacteria and grab more nutrients.
The bacteria themselves secrete a substance, which is an antibiotic.
Since the discovery of antibiotics, they have been abused.
If you have a toothache, take a pill of levidazole; if you have a cold, take a pill of amoxicillin; if you have an infection, take a pill of cephalosporin.
Of course, if that's all it is, it's not abuse.
After all, this is within the scope of normal use.
The place where it is really abused is in animal husbandry, raising pigs, cattle, and fish!
In terms of breeding, to what extent have antibiotics been abused?
Let’s use the simplest analogy.
When people take antibiotics, they calculate the dosage based on the number of pills. They also plan when to take and when to stop.
But pigs don't have to pay so much attention. They just give it a big spoonful and don't care if it's too much or too little.
The pig is sick today. Add a spoonful of antibiotics to the feed to treat it.
Tomorrow, when the pigs are cured of their illness, they will have to add a spoonful of antibiotics to their feed as a precaution.
Piggy is in a bad mood the day after tomorrow. Give him a spoonful of antibiotics to cheer him up.
The day after tomorrow, forget it, just have a spoonful first!
To exaggerate, this is no longer adding antibiotics to the feed, but adding antibiotics to the feed, which is worse than soaking the pigs directly in the antibiotics.
And these pigs with large amounts of antibiotic residue will eventually flow to the market and be served on the dining tables of thousands of households.
According to the theory of evolution proposed by the scholar who is as famous as the Peashooter and known as the Hand of God.
In this environment where antibiotics are extremely prevalent, bacteria will naturally develop resistance in order to survive.
Even in extreme cases, a group of super bacteria have been spawned, that is, multi-drug resistant bacteria.
These superbugs are resistant to most antibiotics.
When a person is infected by this superbug, the ordinary antibiotics on the market can no longer play any role.
This is the horror of superbugs.
In order to deal with these superbugs, humans can only continue to develop stronger antibiotics.
And now Lu Liang has obtained it, which is a top-grade antibiotic.
The third generation oxazolidinone antibiotics!
Let’s talk about how top-notch this antibiotic is.
Give a simple example.
In diseases caused by Gram-positive bacteria, vancomycin has been hailed as the last line of defense against infection.
Just because vancomycin is so powerful.
Those superbugs that ordinary antibiotics cannot solve are at the younger level of vancomycin.
Vancomycin kills gods when it encounters gods, and kills Buddhas when it encounters Buddha. It is like entering a land where there is no one.
But this situation did not last long.
But slowly, some of these superbugs became more gifted.
During the fight against vancomycin, these bacteria gradually became resistant to vancomycin and broke through the vancomycin line of defense.
In order to repair this last line of defense, people once again developed a new antibiotic.
That is, the first generation oxazolidinone antibiotics.
For superbugs that cannot be dealt with by vancomycin, first-generation oxazolidinone antibiotics can be used.
Therefore, to be precise, the last line of defense now consists of vancomycin + first-generation oxazolidinone antibiotics.
And what Lu Liang currently has in his hands.
It is the third generation of oxazolidinone antibiotics (hereinafter referred to as the third generation of oxazolidinone antibiotics)!
This shows the top level of the three generations of evil.
But this is also the reason why the system reminded Lu Liang not to abuse it.
If one day, the three generations of evil in Lu Liang's hands were abused, and some bacteria became resistant to it.
There is no cure for the whole world.
Fortunately, the current superbugs are not that contagious, so there is no need to worry too much.
Lu Liang always feels that these super bacteria gave up something when they evolved drug resistance.
Just like playing Plague Inc., after maxing out the resistance, you will find that the talent is not enough and you can't activate the infection.
Just as Lu Liang was thinking about these things, his phone suddenly sounded a message notification.
Lu Liang picked up his phone and glanced at the message, and found that it was from Ji Hong: Don't forget to report to the Institute of Drug Research today.
When he saw this news, Lu Liang suddenly became excited.
After the previous interview, Lu Liang was naturally admitted to the Institute of Drug Research.
At that time, Lu Liang was notified and asked to come over and join the company after a while.
However, it had been too long, and there were too many things going on in the past period, so Lu Liang had no intention to care about this matter.
If it weren't for Ji Hong's reminder today, he almost forgot that today was the registration time for the Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
Lu Liang changed his clothes, then grabbed his coat and hurried out the door.
He is now going to a drug research institute.
As for the antibiotics matter, Lu Liang could only deal with it when he got back.
Pharmaceutical Research Institute, in the office.
Come on, sit down, don't be so formal.
Chen Shen poured a glass of water with Lu Liang with a smile, and then sat down on the chair opposite Lu Liang: I have heard Academician Zhang mention you a long time ago. You are indeed a hero from a young age.
Lu Liang coughed dryly: Director Chen, you have given me the award.
Chen Shen smiled: Don't be so modest. Academician Zhang often mentions you in front of me. He is very satisfied with you as a student.
Lu Liang was keenly aware of another meaning in Chen Shen's words. He asked tentatively: Director Chen, who are you and Teacher Zhang?
Old classmate. Chen Shen didn't hide anything from Lu Liang.
After Lu Liang heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
Then Lu Liang asked: Director Chen, look at what work I need to do when I come to report today, or what work arrangements will be made in the future?
Although Chen Shen and Zhang Li are classmates, it has nothing to do with him. He still has to do whatever he should do.
After mentioning this matter, Chen Shen said, I have been thinking about your future work for a long time.
Your current status is an intern researcher. Logically speaking, you should assist other researchers in carrying out some daily related research.
When he said this, Chen Shen paused: But your situation is quite special.
Regarding Lu Liang's future work arrangements, Chen Shen had actually discussed it with Zhang Li countless times.
Both of them agreed that after Lu Liang joined the job, if Lu Liang was only allowed to do some auxiliary work and odd jobs for other researchers, it would be like using anti-aircraft cannons to fight mosquitoes, overqualifying his talents for underutilization.
Chen Shen can't do such a waste of talent, so he definitely doesn't intend to let Lu Liang do these things.
Chen Shen continued: After discussing with Academician Zhang, we agreed that you should continue to maintain the current situation.
Lu Liang was stunned for a moment after hearing this: Director Chen, what do you mean?
Chen Shen nodded: To put it simply, you are still doing what you have to do as before. Do your research wherever you need to. We will consider you on a business trip.
In Chen Shen's view, the most important thing now is to maintain Lu Liang's condition. As for where Lu Liang does research, it is irrelevant.
Moreover, this kind of thing is not unique. There are also researchers from various research institutes who stay in universities to do research.
Of course, if the school's space or testing equipment is not enough, you can also use the space and equipment at the institute. Chen Shen continued.
After hearing Chen Shen's words, Lu Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.
He was originally worried that after joining the research institute, he would have to run both ways every day, but now Chen Shen's words completely dispelled Lu Liang's worries.
Not only will the institute not restrict him, but it will also provide him with space.
Lu Liang grinned: Thank you, Director Chen.
No need to thank me, this is how it should be, and theoretically speaking, our institute is the one who takes advantage.
When he said this, a sly smile appeared on Chen Shen's face, like a proud old fox.
Chen Shen's words made Lu Liang stunned for a moment. Is this still making money from research?
But soon Lu Liang understood what Chen Shen meant by making money.
Places with key laboratories such as the Institute of Materia Medica need to produce corresponding scientific research results and publish some high-quality papers every year.
In the past, Lu Liang's paper only needed to fill in the school in the location of the institution's school.
But now with Lu Liang's identity change, Lu Liang also needs to add the name of the Drug Research Institute.
However, there is no conflict between the institutional school and the author. For Lu Liang, this is just a matter of convenience.
This is why Chen Shen said that he took advantage.
Chen Shen took a sip of water and reminded: However, let me remind you first. Although you don't need to come to the institute, you must report these things. You must submit reports every once in a while.
To put it simply, I just want to report on some of my research progress during this period. This matter is also very simple.
Lu Liang nodded: Understood, Director Chen.
Chen Shen asked again: Have the entry procedures and other things been completed?
done.
Then there's no problem.
In this case, Director Chen, I will go back first.
After coming out of the Drug Research Institute, Lu Liang stretched hard.
From today on, he is also a researcher!
