Chapter 673 Probiotics
Having just used methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to eliminate the zombie virus in his parents' bodies, Li Quan now wants to use the evolved zombie virus to eliminate the mutated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Li Quan shared his ideas with everyone, and also sought everyone's opinions.
"Team Leader Li, I happen to be studying microbiology, so I have a certain in-depth understanding of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. You want to use the zombie virus to fight staphylococcus, which is absolutely not advisable."
Professor Yang hurriedly stopped him.
"Why?"
According to Li Quan's logic, whoever is stronger will definitely be able to eliminate the weaker one.
The zombie virus in the body of the 'God of Death' is absolutely powerful.
It should be feasible to use them to fight against the mutated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as long as the number of implants is strictly controlled.
"First, viruses are fragments of bacteria. You can also understand that the ancestors of viruses are bacteria. Then, in the biological system, there are actually levels. Just like the human world on our planet is a low-level civilization, alien intelligent creatures belong to a high-level civilization, and alien creatures can easily destroy us.
The level of viruses is always one level lower than that of bacteria.
If you let low-level creatures destroy high-level creatures, there are only two results.
The first is that the zombie virus is lucky enough to survive and can coexist with the mutated MRSA. At that time, your parents will not only suffer from the MRSA, but also from the zombie virus.
This will do them more harm than good.
The second outcome is that the mutated MRSA will win again, which is very likely. By then, it will become more powerful and more difficult to treat. Your parents' disease will also be more difficult to treat."
Professor Yang gave Li Quan a detailed explanation.
After hearing this, Li Quan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, I didn't act rashly.
Otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"Why do you think that the zombie virus cannot defeat MRSA? Didn't you just say that we humans on Earth are only a low-level civilization, while alien intelligent creatures belong to a high-level civilization. The zombie virus comes from a high-level civilization. Its level is definitely higher than the native viruses on Earth."
Li Quan is trying to get to the bottom of this.
We must clarify this issue.
"Then I'll ask you a question in return. The main component of stone is silicon dioxide. A stone from an alien planet is made of silicon dioxide. Is it possible that it is higher quality than a piece of gold on Earth?"
Professor Yang gave a very vivid example.
Ordinary stones from outer space are still stones.
It is impossible to turn into a piece of gold.
Of course, you can also say it is a meteorite.
In fact, not all meteorites are valuable. Only those that have not burned up after rubbing against the atmosphere are likely to be good things.
Many people only know that meteorites are priced by gram, but they don’t know that there are many ordinary meteorites on Earth. They are worthless because they are no different from ordinary stones on Earth.
"Professor Yang, what you mean is that viruses are always just viruses and their level cannot be higher than bacteria, right? " Li Quan suddenly realized.
"Well, you can think of it that way."
Professor Yang nodded slightly.
"We have done countless experiments, and viruses can never be more powerful than bacteria. This is because bacteria have a higher ability to mutate than viruses. In addition, viruses have inherent defects. They are just fragments of bacteria, which means they only contain part of the bacterial genetic code.
You put a powerful virus into a container, and then select a bacteria that is weaker than the virus and put it into the container as well.
The ultimate winner is definitely the bacteria.
Because bacteria have a stronger learning ability and the entire gene chain is intact, they can learn quickly when attacked by viruses, while viruses can only replicate crazily and have almost zero learning ability.
Do you think it can defeat bacteria?"
Li Quan felt overwhelmed after hearing such advanced knowledge of microbiology.
He understood one meaning.
Viruses can never be stronger than bacteria.
"Professor Yang, then tell me, how can we eliminate the mutated MRSA in my parents' bodies?"
Li Quan asked.
"There are at least three ways. The first is high temperature. Almost all bacteria find it difficult to resist high temperatures."
The first method obviously doesn't work.
Because Li Quan's parents are alive, it is dangerous if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees. If it exceeds 50 degrees, their bodies will show great abnormalities.
I believe that in order to kill the mutated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, at least 100 degrees Celsius is required.
What is the concept?
Put a living person into boiling water and cook him.
If the time comes and people are cooked directly, how can they survive?
“The second is to continue to look for more powerful antibiotics. Antibiotics are still the most powerful weapon against bacteria.”
The second method is also difficult to implement.
Although humans can develop a new antibiotic almost every ten years, Li Tiezhu and his wife's current condition does not allow them to survive until that time.
Even if humans really develop new antibiotics, it remains unknown whether they can kill the mutated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
"The third option is your idea of using poison to fight poison. Find a bacterium that can kill the mutated MRSA. Bacteria are the best at dealing with bacteria."
Letting bacteria kill bacteria may be the only easy thing to do right now .
But where to find this bacteria?
"Professor Yang, you and your team members should immediately do your best to research solutions that can deal with the mutated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This includes the solution you just mentioned of using bacteria to eliminate bacteria."
Li Quan is the team leader, so he just needs to give orders directly.
"OK!"
Professor Yang nodded in agreement.
"Remember, this time when you are looking for bacteria that can kill MRSA, I suggest you choose a bacteria that can kill the mutated MRSA and is harmless to the human body."
Li Quan was really frightened by this endless strategy of fighting poison with poison.
The best way is to find a bacterium that is harmless to the human body and can eliminate the mutated staphylococcus.
"Team Leader Li is brilliant !"
Professor Yang's eyes lit up, and he also secretly admired Li Quan's novel ideas.
“This is a really good idea.”
"Finding bacteria that are beneficial to the human body and can eliminate mutated staphylococci can solve the problem once and for all."
Others also praised Li Quan's instructions.
"Okay, everyone should do their own thing and race against time." What Li Quan is most worried about now is how long his parents' health can last?
He is also willing to contribute ideas and efforts to the search for beneficial bacteria.
