Deadly E-coli Bacteria : Bioengineered in Lab ??!!
An outbreak of a peculiar strain of the E. coli bacteria has already taken 40 lives worldwide.
This E-coli bacteria is resistant to 8 different classes of antibiotics. A bacteria can resist to only one or two of the antibiotics in natural way.
But in this case for resistance against 8 classes of antibiotics, they must be repeatedly exposed to all these antibiotics.
This cannot happened naturally. Only way is bioengineering in Lab, by first exposing E-coli bacteria to antibiotics one by one in batch processing, till it gets resistance against all the antibiotics.
This is not the first time the bacteria/virus bio-engineered.
