    Begs the question if antibiotic resistant microbes could be used to develop broader antibiotics using mRNA technology?

    I'm engineering, not medical or organic chemistry trained. The challenge of growing cultures of antibiotic resistant microbes strikes me as not trivial. But deciphering the RNA vector is a hard problem. Testing is another challenge.

    Heard an NPR program about using bacteriophage (phage) to treat an antibiotic resistant infection. At least mRNA is relatively inert.

    It is a shame so much computing and energy are wasted "mining" bit coins.
