320 strains of hypocrisy
Song Dan, who was depressed, pinched the test report into a ball. She gritted her teeth and made a smear of the fungus, and crossed her eyebrows to check the reproduction www.biquge.info of strains on a special medium. Unlike the leader of the expert group, Song Dan regards this never-before-seen tricky strain as an enemy who has never shared the sky, and she must fight to the death with the strain.
Then the leader of the expert group has reached a preliminary conclusion and is discussing with the team members: "This super hemolytic bacterium belongs to the 'super bacteria' undoubtedly, it does not respond to penicillin, broad-spectrum antibiotics have no effect on it, and only a few specific antibiotics can slightly inhibit the reproduction of colonies." But so far no strain has been detected to release hemolytic toxin, and it seems to be a safe strain. β
The leader of the expert group was still discussing, and suddenly there was a "snap", and a thick autopsy report slammed on the desktop in front of the team leader, startling the discussion group. The lethal time is only sixty-three seconds, so whatever you come to your conclusion, at least one thing is certain: this is not a safe strain. β
For the first time, the leader of the expert group was treated coldly by a woman, he stared at the autopsy report that fell on the table, and said angrily: "Please note that in the 'super bacteria', this strain is relatively friendly to the human body, and even if it reproduces in the human internal environment, it does not induce bacteremia." It does not cause inflammation or autoimmunity, and it seems to be able to get along unambiguously, which is rare. Now that the misuse of antibiotics has had widespread consequences worldwide, it is not the first time that immune antibiotic superbugs have appeared in drinking water. β
Song Dan was worried about Wei Dongxian in his heart, and couldn't help but speak straightforwardly, and confronted the team leader: "When the nuclear warhead is lying in the silos, it is also clearly safe with human beings. And as a military personnel, I must remind you that good concealment is an important indicator of weaponization! If the murderous hemolytic bacteria can appear 'safe' in your eyes, it proves that the strain has done a successful job of concealment as a bioweapon, which is the victory of the bacteria and your sorrow. β
The flesh-and-blood people in the expert group heard Song Dan sneering, and they were immediately furious, and they stood up, pointing at Song Dan and saying angrily: "What did you say? Do you know who you're talking to? How old are you to dare to talk to ......"
The leader of the group raised his right palm and stopped his subordinates who were thundering. Then he turned his head to stare at Song Dan, behind the mask, his grim face was expressionless: "Whether it is to induce bacteria to release hemolytic toxin, or to melt the bacterial wall to extract hemolytic toxin, you can be proved right." Then let's play fair, and if you extract the hemolytic toxin before us, then I will apologize to you. Instead, you owe me a favor. β
It's an extremely tempting bet. Hearing that the team leader was serious, the expert who took the case also sat down angrily, and everyone stared at Song Dan solemnly, wanting to see the reaction of this rising star.
Song Dan was disdainful and glared at the leader of the expert group: "NaΓ―ve." Ignoring him, he frowned and went back to work. In her eyes, conquering the strain was imperative, and there was no point in making a bet.
Life is so busy, who has time to bet with you.
Song Dan was so anxious that her mind was thinking about one thing over and over again: Wei Dongxian couldn't die, she couldn't die. She has accumulated enough experience and capital in the past three years, how can she die in the hands of small bacteria at this time of accumulation?
How could 1,200 people in the entire base die at the hands of bacteria!
The most important thing is that this strain is as safe as E. coli, and the friendliness is about to catch up with the body's own intestinal probiotic flora, which will paralyze the expert group and make people misestimate the lethality of this epidemic!
The unbelievably safe strain, the terrifying bloodthirsty hemolytic toxin, how did the two come together? Why would a deadly and hopeless superbug behave so well? What exactly is the mechanism that stimulates it to release toxins? If it does not release the toxin, how long will the illusion of peace that its incubation period bring?
Song Dan was so distracted that he threw himself into work without sleep or food, like a hamster who was desperately busy. The atmosphere in the laboratory has gradually relaxed, and the expert group has begun to talk and laugh. Maybe in the eyes of others, Song Dan is unfounded; Only she knew that she was fighting for the 1,200 lives of the base, for the leaders she had served faithfully.
"In any case, we must uncover the hypocrisy of the strain, prove its lethality, and then develop antibiotics to restrain it!" Song Dan knew that this was an impossible mission, but he still worked hard to carry it out.

The next day, at 8:30 a.m.
The people in the base have been experiencing mild nausea and vomiting one after another. The soldiers and civilian officers in the cafeteria were all sallow-faced, and their cheeks were hunched on the table in a haggard state, staring at the dishes on the table with a sad face, too bored to move their chopsticks.
Because the food ration at the base strictly follows a nutritional mechanism, meat accounts for only half of the spinach, which contains a lot of greens, carrots and iron-rich spinach. And the officers and soldiers of the base suddenly became extremely bored with green vegetables, they craved protein, they wanted to eat meat.
Leftovers in buckets of swill overflow throughout the day. The evaluation box of the canteen was full of letters of pleading from officers and soldiers: they were unwell with a cold, they were slightly ill, and they asked for improved food and nutrition.
A thousand words, combined into one sentence: "We want to eat meat." β
Moreover, this is no longer the willful wish of a certain person, but has become the spiritual appeal of all officers and men.
The cooking class was helpless. First of all, there is a doctor at the base who specializes in catering nutritionists to supervise the nutritional balance of the dietary rations, so vegetables must account for half, which is the rule. Secondly, the base can't slaughter so many livestock, because the source is not enough, if you want to allocate additional pigs, the Ministry of Transport must modify the livestock ration of the surrounding prefecture-level cities, and increase the volume to expand the supply, and this adjustment process can take up to half a week. As a result, there was a shortage of pork in the base.
The medic turned into the busiest person in the base. After a tug-of-war exhausting consultation, the exhausted military doctor gave instructions that the contamination of drinking water was causing a widespread bacterial infection. The neurological symptoms of mild bacteremia led to mild reflex vomiting and pica of unknown cause among officers and men. Guidance: Take broad-spectrum antibiotic medications as prescribed, and at the same time strengthen nutrition and supplement meat.
So the canteen was caught off guard, and the meat dishes had to be served in limited quantities, and a meat dish became a hot treasure.
Military doctors do not yet know that superbugs are immune to broad-spectrum antibiotics, so the doctor's order is relatively simple, because the use of antibiotics is already a subtle habit. On the contrary, after learning that the source of infection was bacteria and not viruses or parasites, the military doctor was relieved. Because human beings have a long history of fighting bacteria, they have more experience in isolation and more effective prevention and control strategies. The anti-epidemic team will be more confident in dealing with germs. In addition, it is more effective in killing bacteria than viruses that live in cells, and the development of targeted antibiotics can effectively inhibit the reproduction of bacteria.
