Chapter 673: To drive away the wolf, the war between bacteria and virus

"Nothing happened in the past few days when I was away?"
Li Quan began to draw blood from his parents for blood tests, and at the same time let him put on equipment to check the virus in his parents.
"All are good." Tang Zhengyuan stepped forward to help.
"How is the patient who took the medicine the first time?" Li Quan is now anxious to know why his parents suddenly have a high fever and are unconscious after their condition improves?
"The patient was tested this morning, and the zombie virus in his body was about 0.02%. We found that the zombie viruses that survived to the end were very powerful. Their survivability, attack ability, and defense capabilities are far beyond ordinary zombies. Viruses. They can even kill some methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in turn."
Tang Zhengyuan reported the latest findings to Li Quan.
"It's not surprising that the virus will evolve. This time I returned to my hometown to save my parents and found a special infected person. It is estimated that the infection time should be more than half a year. It may even be longer. Under the action of the zombie virus, his body is strengthened. The strength is extremely strong. If you can take some tissues from that person to make specimens for laboratory tests.
I'm sure that the zombie virus contained in the specimen must have evolved. "
Li Quan was not surprised by this result.
As early as a few days ago, the remaining 2% of the virus in the body of the first patient who tested the drug could not be wiped out. Li Quan had already speculated that those zombie viruses must have evolved.
It's like tearing and killing on the battlefield, and the ones who can survive in the end are the elite soldiers.
Those who die early are weak cannon fodder.
"After my parents' test results come out, they can just be compared."
There was a gleam of wisdom in Li Quan's eyes.
His parents had been infected with the zombie virus for a short time, and Li Quan gave them medicine in time. It is estimated that the zombie viruses in their bodies have not had time to evolve. They are just the most common zombie viruses, so they will be eliminated soon.
This is also the reason why Li Quan's parents got better after only thirty-six hours after taking the medicine.
It didn't take long for the test results to come out.
"Leader Li, the number of zombie viruses detected in your parents is zero. But there are a large number of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus." The expert responsible for the test submitted the test results to Li Quan.
"really?"
When Li Quan heard this result, he was very pleasantly surprised.
Because in his mind, the most difficult thing to eliminate is the zombie virus.
After the parents are infected with the zombie virus, there must be a large number of zombie viruses in the body undergoing crazy self-replication. Now, the number of zombie viruses in their bodies is zero, indicating that the treatment method Li Quan has developed is effective.
To drive away wolves and retreat to tigers is to dance on the tip of a knife.
Now the tiger has returned, and the remaining pack of wolves are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Fortunately, Li Quan was prepared.
Let several microbiologists find a way to study a feasible plan to eliminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
"Professor Yang, I don't know if your team has developed a way to eliminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus?" Li Quan asked.
"Our group has a feasible treatment plan. Combining vancomycin with two other antibiotics can eliminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a very short time. At least we have passed many experiments. , Proved feasible."
Professor Yang is a veteran scholar in his sixties and wearing reading glasses.
He speaks and does everything with a stern look and seriousness.
It is this kind of person who will focus and rigorously pursue the truth when doing research.
"Okay, great!"
Li Quan was very excited, now that he has a feasible treatment plan that can eliminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The parents' illness will be cured soon.
Now, he finally understands why his parents were unconscious and continued to have a high fever.
This is exactly the response of bacteria to inflammation.
The human body has its own immune system. When it is infected with a virus or bacteria, an inflammatory response occurs. Under normal circumstances, they will automatically raise their body temperature to kill invading bacteria and viruses.
But the human immune system is very interesting.
It is like a tough guy who bullies the hard and is afraid of the soft.
Against bacteria that are more powerful than viruses, the body's immune system is often able to show its power. On the contrary, when dealing with a variety of viruses, it seems a little weak.
When those viruses stepped on their heads and urinates, it has no power to resist.
This is also in human history, where plagues are basically viral infections. Few plagues are due to bacterial infections.
"Get the medicine right away and give my parents the medicine."
Li Quan said to Professor Yang.
"Yes!"
Professor Yang showed respect for Li Quan from the heart.
It is not easy to win the respect of an old scholar like him.
Because of this kind of old pedagogy, they tend to have strange tempers and smelly.
They love to admit the truth, and their hearts are especially arrogant.
Regardless of whether the other party is a billionaire or a high-ranking official, he dare not buy their account, or even attack them.
Not even going to flatter these people.
The reason why he respects Li Quan so much is because Li Quan's ability has subdued him.
Researching out a method to kill the zombie virus has already made Professor Yang very much admired.
Now that he heard that all the zombie viruses in Li Quan's parents had been killed, he immediately realized that Li Quan's treatment plan was indeed effective.
Therefore, he admired Li Quan even more.
"Leader Li, all three antibiotics have been taken. This is the best ratio we tested. Should I administer the drug or will you do it yourself?"
Professor Yang used a respectful name for Li Quan, a young man 40 years younger than him.
"You are more professional, let you do it. I only have one request, to ensure the safety of my parents as much as possible." Li Quan did not say that the lives of my parents must be guaranteed.
When there is no doctor treating a patient, dare to say that I will assure you that you are all right.
If Li Quan really said that, it is estimated that Professor Yang would be dead directly.
In the focus of everyone's attention, Professor Yang steadily matched the three antibiotics, injected them into the bottle, and shake them well.
It is then administered in the form of drips.
It is a safer way to use antibiotics to administer intravenously.
Because of the risk of injecting antibiotics into the patient's body, accidents are prone to occur.
Antibiotics are not as safe as everyone thinks.
On the contrary, it is a dangerous medicine.
When a hospital injects antibiotics into a patient, it usually takes a skin test before giving the patient medication.
Once an allergic reaction occurs, it is likely to be fatal.
...
One hour passed.
Two hours passed... a full fourteen hours passed.
But Li Quan's parents still had a high fever.
The person has also been in a coma.
Professor Yang is so old that he stayed here for more than ten hours, and it was inevitable that he couldn't help it.
"No, this treatment plan is a method that I have tried repeatedly with all the members of the microbiology research team and proved to be effective. What is the problem?"
Professor Yang said to himself while taking out the lens wiping cloth and wiping his glasses.
So many people are watching.
He made a promise just now, saying that it is not difficult to eliminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
As a result, he was beaten in the face more than ten hours later.
"Professor Yang, don't worry. Let's find out the reason."
Li Quan was worried that Professor Yang was getting older, and when he became anxious, he could easily go wrong.
Quickly say something to be relieved.
"Draw another blood for a blood test."
Upon Li Quan's order, the doctor in charge of the examination immediately collected blood from Li Quan's parents, and then tested it in the laboratory.
The results came out very quickly.
"After testing, the concentration of the three antibiotics in the patient's blood reached expectations. However, the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the patient showed no signs of decrease. They seem to...have evolved, a combined attack on the three antibiotics. immunity."
The audience was shocked when he said this.
In the first patient who tested the drug, a small part of the zombie virus in his body had evolved and it was difficult to eliminate.
Then finally wiped out the zombie virus in Li Quan's parents, which made everyone feel excited.
As a result, it has only now been discovered that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has evolved in a very short period of time.
"Let me see!"
Professor Yang stood up tremblingly, walked to the front of the testing table, and carefully stared at the display to see the appearance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
"Hey, you guys come over and take a look. These methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus seem to be different from ordinary methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus."
Several members of the microbiology research team leaned over to take a closer look.
Surprised expressions appeared on their faces.
"Leader Li, when did you give your parents the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus?"
A microbiologist turned his head and asked.
"Two days ago. About fifty hours or so." Li Quan raised his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall.
"It's only fifty hours. It's impossible for bacteria to evolve in such a short time."
Bacteria divide fast or slow.
Ordinary, it splits every 20 or 30 minutes, and some advanced ones may take more than 20 hours.
This is just the time required for the division.
Generally speaking, the number of splits is thousands of times, and mutations may not necessarily occur.
Calculated by the shortest mutation time.
It takes more than two years to split a time for twenty hours, and to split a thousand times.
It is conceivable that it is almost impossible for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to evolve and mutate in two days.
Where is the problem?
"I boldly speculate that these methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus can evolve in a very short period of time, and it must have swallowed the zombie virus before this rapid evolution took place."
Professor Yang still has real talents and learning.
The reason for the rapid evolution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was quickly deduced.
In the world of bacteria and viruses, there is indeed a rule that only exists in cultivation novels.
They can eat other bacteria or viruses, replenish energy, and achieve the purpose of rapid evolution.
In the cultivation novel, some old demon or monster, by swallowing other monsters of the same level, or more powerful than oneself, then the cultivation base skyrocketed.
The same is true for bacteria.
Zombie viruses swallowed by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are alien microorganisms.
This is a premium item.
After the zombie virus was eliminated, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus evolved.
It becomes very difficult.
It was originally studied that the simultaneous use of three antibiotics can eliminate them.
Now this treatment plan is equivalent to drizzle for them after the mutation.
It can't hurt their foundation at all.
"Professor Yang, is there a way to think of it?" Li Quan's brows, which had been stretched out, wrinkled again.
"Uh...Well, there must be a way, but it will take time to experiment. Your parents have a high fever now. Whether they can wait until then is still unknown."
Professor Yang kindly reminded Li Quan.
"That’s good, you should hurry up and study how to eliminate the evolved methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. I also think of some ways here. If I am not wrong, the evolved methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus will It will become a more terrifying existence than the zombie virus.
It is definitely not their final evolution now.
In the future, it will evolve.
Then it will become more difficult to deal with. "
Li Quan gave his own prediction.
A group of scientific researchers began to do their own things, doing research racing against time.
Li Quan is also trying various methods to eliminate the evolved methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Time passed quickly in the intense research.
"Leader Li, Leader Li, the number of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in your parents is decreasing." On the third day, the inspector shouted excitedly.
"really?"
Li Quan feels that this is simply whether it is extremely calm, and the times come and go.
When I walked over and took a look, I saw the test result stated that the number of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was reduced from 1257 per drop of blood to 871.
A full reduction of nearly four hundred.
This has only been less than the past three days.
"Could it be that the three antibiotics did not work on the spot, but started to work through slow treatment?"
The possibility Li Quan said is true.
Illness comes like a mountain, but it goes like a thread.
"Leader Li, this may happen, but unfortunately, it shouldn't be the effect of antibiotic treatment. We discovered a very special phenomenon. Those evolved methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are killing each other and swallowing each other."
Professor Yang said to Li Quan.
This result surprised Li Quan again.
The first evolution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is scary enough.
After many times of evolution and swallowing, they still can't go to heaven?
My parents’ bodies are now the battlefield for those methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
"No, I have to find a way."
Li Quan couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of a madman treatment plan he had conceived.
Since methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has evolved so powerfully, will the zombie viruses that have undergone multiple evolutions be more powerful than them?
The infected person code-named "Reaper" must have evolved the zombie virus many times, and may be able to deal with the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Li Quan's parents.
