      We hope we will, but it is a race between new antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolving, and us making new different antibiotics against them. We are almost keeping up at the moment, but it’s pretty frightening that we are running out of things to treat “super” bugs like MRSA. There is a lot of research in this area at the moment, and it is one of the biggest priorities!
