Question

Can anybody tell me the main points/reasons why bacteria won't be resistant to antibiotics in the future?

I have many reasons why it will be resistant but i'm struggling to find the opposite.

Thanks In Advance

Answer 1

Bacteria may become resistant to today's antibiotics, but hopefully in the future, there will be stronger, more powerful antibiotics.

Answer 2

Well, I doubt that that will EVER be the case.  The only reason would be that we assume humans are so dang smart that they find a  foolproof antibiotic that is impossible for bacteria to have ANY mutant EVER that will survive in the presence of that antibiotic.  Not likely.  Is this supposed to be a debate?  There isn't much evidence on the "no resistance in the future" side of the debate, because it hasn't ever happened so far.  I guess that "optimism" and "faith in technology" are the answers you are looking for, but I'm a bit cynical myself.

Answer 3

Due to how modern medicine as drastically improved over the last 100 years, people believe it is safe to say that when bacteria do happen to become resistant, we'll have some form of back up medicine/cure that will instantly destroy the said bacteria.  And, if that back up medicine doesn't happen to be prominent, we'll have some well-developed cure of some sort to replace that.

In short: humans believe that medicine and technology will continue to find ways to cure diseases, no matter how resistant the strains, due to past evidence that of how they've progressed so far.

Answer 4

Technology. Microbiologists will find different "thingycides" with different contents that the bacteria will not recognize, because of the recency of production.

Bacteria also adjust to time. =)
