Viruses are not the only thing, what causes pandemics
I just watched a movie about the famous law enforcer and businessman Wyatt Earp (1848-1929) and his partner Doc Holiday (1851-1887), who had the lung disease or sharper saying tuberculosis. In real life, that man died in lung tuberculosis at the age of 36. When we are thinking that tuberculosis is one of the worst epidemics on the ground, and that thing causes death if there s no effective antibiotics, we might ask how many people Doc Holiday have been killed by infected them by the tuberculosis bacteria. So that thing tells how many ways of thinking has been changed from the 19th century.
In modern days that man would put into quarantine and that would deny the transferring organisms to another person. But in the time of Wild West, there was no quarantine, and that man waked in the middle of people and transmit bacteria to other people.
The thing, that decreased the risk to get that bacteria was quarantine and later antibiotics. Sometimes researchers said, that they have won this disease, but sometimes it would come back, and the problem is that this bacteria has been turned sometimes resistant against the antibiotics.
Also, things like resistant bacteria and bacillus are causing pandemics, and if we are thinking cases like tuberculosis that is still one of the deadliest diseases if the antibiotics would not affect that thing. And of course, cholera and other things like the plague are deadly even the antibiotics like penicillin has existed almost 100 years.
The thing what makes bacteria deadly is that the antibiotics are used the wrong way and if the cure period of antibiotics is too short, or the antibiotics are used the wrong way, the result is that the strongest individual of the bacteria population would survive, and that means that the antibiotics would not affect to bacteria or bacillus. Also, bacteria and bacillus would create resistance against the antibiotics, and that thing is causing that the antibiotics cannot destroy bacteria.
One of the reasons why the bacteria turn to resistance is that the antibiotics would throw to nature. In those cases, the small dose of antibiotics activates the immune system of bacteria, and then that bacteria would transfer this ability to the other bacteria in the population. So when bacteria face antibiotic it would start to send the chemical marks that it is in trouble.
And that causes that other bacteria would send it the small bite of the genome, which makes that bacteria resistant to antibiotics. But how the immune defense of bacteria is working? The normal procedures of defense are that bacteria would close the ion pumps on its protein layer, and that denies the molecule entry to the cell. Or it would start to create the resistant molecules, what mission is to neutralize the antibiotics molecules. And that means that there are many other threats in nature than some viruses.
