  • Sarchet reveals that in December, bacteria carrying a gene that allows them to resist the antibiotic colistin were found in Denmark and China. The discovery meant that some types of bacteria now have the potential to become "pan-resistant," with genes that defeat all antibiotics. The shock this news caused rippled across the world, including on social networks like Reddit.
