Hospital sewages are particularly problematic

The combination of the centralistic flow-through concept and hospitals is an epidemical disaster.

There is a dictum in hospitals: “The doctor’s last bullet". Antibiotics, which are given only when a life-threatening infections exists and with pathogens which are already resistant to all other antibiotics, are meant with it. Moribund people can be rescued from the death with them.

There is a study which is very  alarming. Such an antibiotic was given as treatment in a hospital But bacteria had already developed a  so-called resistance plasmid in the body of the patient. This is small, ring-like DNA molecules on which proteins which are encoded are able to destroy the antibiotic: These bacteria are resistant; the antibiotic does not have any affect on them . The danger is , that these bacteria can copy the resistance plasmid and pass it on to other bacteria.

However, hospitals are also connected to our faucets via the hydraulic connection which is has been described beforehand. A Freiburg researchers team was able to track  this plasmid through the  entire hydraulic process: From the toilet, via the sewerage into the sewage plant. Since sewage is cleaned with the help of bacteria, a sewage plant works like a gigantic interchange station for resistance plasmids.
