Hi I don't know if this is correct to do in this newsgroup...

I'd like to start a discussion about Antibiotics and Heavy metals resistance
in bacteria...

First idea:

    I find out that many resistance genes are carried by plasmids and thus
the resistance spread with ease in the bacterial population of a given
ecosystem...
    If we keep the indiscriminated use of antibiotics, and the discharge or
residual water directly in our water sources we'll be facing a really big
health problem sooner or later...
