neo / thalio......good article - did that come across on WebMD or Sciencist.com (it had several releases - alot of coverage). There's been so much to read lately but thanks to the internet - now there's even more. How did I get along without the internet - the pre-internet days (=dark ages). When does Dr. Yin Chen's article in Biochemistry come out? (I want to say next month but sounds too soon). Can you imagine various Bacteriologist reading that - 100% knockout rate of gene necessary for bacterial replication. It can't be coming too soon for medicine. There's a hideous problem in so many hospitals of post-operative infections - high percentage of clean surgeries going septic and it's culture / sensitivity time and back to the 3rd or 4th generation pencillin antibiotics and hope for the best. Meanwhile the Stayh. aureus mutations handed out before one gets their bill are laughing as migrate thur their victims. Mortality rates for spesis can approach 60%. It's time for something new - something that if there is further mutation in bacteria - adjustments are simply made to catch up immediately. Medical community is excited about a compd to inhibit transcription in E. coli but don't get too excited - might be still in the dark ages - compared to Dr. Chen's ssDNA molecule. Thalio, myself and the entire site here at CYGX canbe very excited when Dr. Chen's paper is published and this medical earth shattering method of controling bacterial is exposed to the medical community worldwide. There's alot to look forward too.
