Super Bug vs Colistin, who will prevail?
A single bacterial fever makes you restless, nauseatic, and tiresome. To cure ourselves of it, we use antibiotics. The purpose of antibiotics is to either kill the infecting bacteria or to prevent them from spreading. Once the antibiotic is taken in, it kills all the bacteria, that are less stronger than the antibiotics. Sometimes they also kill the helping bacteria like gut bacteria.
Bacteria have one unique ability which is mutating and evolving according to their lifestyle. Whenever an antibiotic is used, a massive number of bacteria are killed, only a few survive and this survived bacteria develop themselves to be more resistant to the antibiotic over their period. This resistance takes place over evolution. It is that their offsprings are more resistant to antibiotics, not themselves. When again the same antibiotic is used, then it'll have no effect on them because they're now stronger. This way, bacteria evolve, beating antibiotics most of the times.

But, there is a measure of last resort, the ultimate killer weapon, the Colistin. The strongest antibiotic ever discovered by humanity and is used when everything goes south with other antibiotics. Since it is the best we got, it shouldn't be more often used with weak bacteria because it may trigger the evolution towards the strongest. But, Colistin being available abundantly, is often misused. They are injected into the animals(like poultry animals) to make them free from infections and to make them bulky. These animals may have developed the bacteria which resistant to Colistin. Now, when we consume those animals, we let the SuperBug enter into our body.
There are few reports from China which says there have already been few cases reporting SuperBugs. Noticing this system, WHO has already banned the use of Colistin in poultry farms, but it is not eradicated.
If we continue to eat the Colistin grown animals, it will be the doomsday.
Coming to the question, I wish, I really wish, I could say that Colistin prevails but can I?
