Uzwile nge-superbugs manje. Kuzwakala njengento esabekayo, ye-sci-fi ezofika izosithola ngonyaka ka-3000, kodwa, empeleni, iyenzeka. khona lapha, khona manje. (Ngaphambi kokuxakaniseka-nazi izindlela ezimbalwa zokuzivikela kuma-superbugs.) Isibonelo A: I-gonorrhea, i-STD ngokuvamile ikhishwe ngama-antibiotics, manje ayizweli kuwo wonke amaphilisi ngaphandle kwesigaba esisodwa, futhi isisondele ekubeni ingelapheki. (Okuningi lapha: I-Super Gonorrhea iyinto yangempela.)

Bese kuba nezindaba zakamuva: Iningi lamagciwane amanje kagcunsula, okuyisifo esidala esithathelwanayo esiqhubeka nokuvela futhi emhlabeni wonke, simelana ne-antibiotic azithromycin yesibili, ngokusho kocwaningo olwenziwe yi-University of Zurich. Ngakho-ke uma uthola lolu hlobo logcunsula futhi ungakwazi ukwelashwa ngomuthi wokuqala ongakhetha kuwo, i-penicillin (njengokuthi uma unalesi sifo), umuthi olandelayo kulayini kungenzeka ungabe usasebenza. Yikes.

I-syphilis (i-STD evamile) isineminyaka engaphezu kuka-500 ikhona. Kodwa lapho ukwelashwa nge-antibiotic penicillin kutholakala maphakathi nawo-1900, amazinga okutheleleka ancipha kakhulu, ngokusho kocwaningo. Ngokushesha phambili emashumini ambalwa edlule, futhi uhlobo olulodwa lokutheleleka lubuyela esimeni-empeleni, ukuthi izinga logcunsula kwabesifazane lenyuke ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-27 ngonyaka odlule, njengoba sisanda kubika kuma-STD Rates Zise-All-Time High. Yik kabili.

Abaphenyi abavela eNyuvesi yaseZurich babefuna ukuthola ukuthi kwenzakalani ngalesi sifo esinamandla kakhulu se-STD. Baqoqa amasampula angu-70 emitholampilo nawelabhorethri e-syphilis, i-yaws, nezifo ze-bejel ezivela emazweni angu-13 asabalele emhlabeni jikelele. (I-PS Yaws ne-bejel ukutheleleka okudluliselwa ngokuxhumana kwesikhumba nezimpawu nezimpawu ezifanayo kugcunsula, okubangelwa amagciwane ahlobene kakhulu.) Bakwazile ukwakha uhlobo lozalo lomndeni logcunsula, futhi bathola ukuthi 1) uhlobo olusha lomhlaba wonke lokutheleleka kwavela ukuthi kwavela kukhokho wobunzima phakathi nawo-1900s (ngemuva i-penicillin yaqala ukudlala), no-2) lolu hlobo oluthile lumelana kakhulu ne-azithromycin, umuthi womugqa wesibili osetshenziswa kakhulu ukwelapha izifo zocansi.

I-Penicillin, umuthi owukhetha kuqala ukwelapha ugcunsula, ungenye yezinhlobo zama-antibiotic ezisetshenziswa kakhulu emhlabeni-kodwa cishe amaphesenti ayi-10 eziguli ayizwani nawo noma ayizweli kakhulu kuwo. Ngenhlanhla, abantu abaningi balahlekelwa ukungezwani komzimba nokuhamba kwesikhathi, ngokusho kwe-American Academy of Asthma and Immunology, kodwa lokho kusabeka inqwaba yabantu engcupheni yokutheleleka ngogcunsula nokungakwazi ukwelashwa. Kuyakhathaza kakhulu lokho ngoba, uma ingelashwa iminyaka eyi-10 kuye kwengama-30, ugcunsula ungadala ukukhubazeka, ukuba ndikindiki, ubumpumputhe, ukuwohloka komqondo, ukulimala kwezitho zangaphakathi, ngisho nokufa, ngokusho kweCDC.

Lokhu konke kungazwakala kukude kakhulu, kepha ama-STI aphathwa ngama-antibiotic (i-chlamydia, i-gonorrhea, futhi, ne-syphilis) asevele aba nzima ukwelashwa. Yingakho kubaluleke kakhulu kunakuqala ukwenza ucansi oluphephile. (Lesi sibali sokubala ubungozi se-STD futhi siwukuvuka okukhulu.) Ngakho-ke sebenzisa ikhondomu ngendlela efanele ngaso sonke isikhathi, thembeka kubalingani bakho, futhi nihlolwe ngezaba zokungaphinde nizenze.
