That's for antibiotics, not antibacterial soap. I guarantee you germs aren't going to become resistant to ethyl alcohol.

Increasing Tolerance of Hospital Enterococcus faecium to Handwash Alcohols

quote:

Pidot, et al. (2018) tested alcohol tolerance of 139 hospital isolates of E. faecium obtained between 1997 and 2015 and found that E. faecium isolates after 2010 were 10-fold more tolerant to killing by alcohol than were older isolates. Using a mouse gut colonization model of E. faecium transmission, we showed that alcohol-tolerant E. faecium resisted standard 70% isopropanol surface disinfection, resulting in greater mouse gut colonization compared to alcohol-sensitive E. faecium.

The researchers looked for bacterial genomic signatures of adaptation. Alcohol-tolerant E. faecium accumulated mutations in genes involved in carbohydrate uptake and metabolism. Mutagenesis confirmed the roles of these genes in the tolerance of E. faecium to isopropanol.

Tune into the fireplace channel, you absolute buffoon
We need to harness these hard drinking microorganisms for the good of humanity, somehow.

drat. in humans a bac over 0.5% can kill most people. if those bacteria are happy living in 70% alcohol i think it goes beyond tolerance. those bacteria have a problem and need help

Considering how often someone says something ridiculous with utter sincerity on Fox News and all of a sudden half the US believes it to be true, it's very reasonable to be trolled by them.

50 bucks says if there wasn't immediately a massive rejection of his "joke with no punchline described as a personal belief" at the level it was, there would be conservatives refusing to wash their hands to own the libs right now.

I’m pretty sure conservatives are going to stop washing their hands to own the libs regardless of whether it was a joke or not.

Buncha chodes (chuds but I'm trying to respect their feelings about the microaggressions of calling them that word) going all in on defending the most obvious schrodinger's rear end in a top hat defense I've ever seen

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
