Gene discovered in Georgia water a possible “Global Threat”

Ezekial 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

Researchers at the University of Georgia have discovered a gene that causes bacteria to be resistant to an important antibiotic, in local sewage water.

The MCR-9 gene can make bacteria resistant to an antibiotic called colistin, which is considered a last-resort antibiotic that can kill bacteria other antibiotics can’t.

The gene has been declared one of the top 10 medical threats to global humanity.

Colistin is used outside of the U.S. as an antibiotic in livestock. It’s currently banned in the U.S. because of concerns about bacteria gaining resistance to it. UGA Assistant Professor Issmat Kassem said that if bacteria becomes resistant to colistin, the results could be catastrophic.

“This means that if people or animals contract a strain of colistin-resistant bacteria, there are potentially no medications that can treat their infection,” Kassem said. “They face extreme, invasive health measures and possible death,”

Kassem said that of further concern is the way the gene spreads easily from one bacteria to another, which suggests that it could spread to bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, which commonly cause outbreaks in human.

Kassem said the gene could change those illnesses from being relatively treatable to deadly.

Kassem said that the findings of the study demonstrate that the MCR-9 gene is becoming established in the U.S. and could be more widespread than initially thought, which is a serious problem that could pose a global threat.

Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and “DISEASES”; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
