NATURALNEWS: European e.coli superbug was bioengineered

NaturalNews) Even as the veggie blame game is now under way across the EU, where a super resistant strain of e.coli is sickening patients and filling hospitals in Germany, virtually no one is talking about how e.coli could have magically become resistant to eight different classes of antibiotic drugs and then suddenly appeared in the food supply.

This particular e.coli variation is a member of the O104 strain, and O104 strains are almost never (normally) resistant to antibiotics. In order for them to acquire this resistance, they must be repeatedly exposed to antibiotics in order to provide the "mutation pressure" that nudges them toward complete drug immunity.

So if you're curious about the origins of such a strain, you can essentially reverse engineer the genetic code of the e.coli and determine fairly accurately which antibiotics it was exposed to during its development. This step has now been done (see below), and when you look at the genetic decoding of this O104 strain now threatening food consumers across the EU, a fascinating picture emerges of how it must have come into existence.

The genetic code reveals the history
When scientists at Germany's Robert Koch Institute decoded the genetic makeup of the O104 strain, they found it to be resistant to all the following classes and combinations of antibiotics:

• penicillins
• tetracycline
• nalidixic acid
• trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazol
• cephalosporins
• amoxicillin / clavulanic acid
• piperacillin-sulbactam
• piperacillin-tazobactam

In addition, this O104 strain posses an ability to produce special enzymes that give it what might be called "bacteria superpowers" known technically as ESBLs:

"Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) are enzymes that can be produced by bacteria making them resistant to cephalosporins e.g. cefuroxime, cefotaxime and ceftazidime - which are the most widely used antibiotics in many hospitals," explains the Health Protection Agency in the UK (http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Infect...).

On top of that, this O104 strain possesses two genes -- TEM-1 and CTX-M-15 -- that "have been making doctors shudder since the 1990s," reports The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentis...). And why do they make doctors shudder? Because they're so deadly that many people infected with such bacteria experience critical organ failure and simply die.

Bioengineering a deadly superbug
So how, exactly, does a bacterial strain come into existence that's resistant to over a dozen antibiotics in eight different drug classes and features two deadly gene mutations plus ESBL enzyme capabilities?

There's really only one way this happens (and only one way) -- you have to expose this strain of e.coli to all eight classes of antibiotics drugs. Usually this isn't done at the same time, of course: You first expose it to penicillin and find the surviving colonies which are resistant to penicillin. You then take those surviving colonies and expose them to tetracycline. The surviving colonies are now resistant to both penicillin and tetracycline. You then expose them to a sulfa drug and collect the surviving colonies from that, and so on. It is a process of genetic selection done in a laboratory with a desired outcome. This is essentially how some bioweapons are engineered by the U.S. Army in its laboratory facility in Ft. Detrick, Maryland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation...).

Although the actual process is more complicated than this, the upshot is that creating a strain of e.coli that's resistant to eight classes of antibiotics requires repeated, sustained expose to those antibiotics. It is virtually impossible to imagine how this could happen all by itself in the natural world. For example, if this bacteria originated in the food (as we've been told), then where did it acquire all this antibiotic resistance given the fact that antibiotics are not used in vegetables?

When considering the genetic evidence that now confronts us, it is difficult to imagine how this could happen "in the wild." While resistance to a single antibiotic is common, the creation of a strain of e.coli that's resistant to eight different classes of antibiotics -- in combination -- simply defies the laws of genetic permutation and combination in the wild. Simply put, this superbug e.coli strain could not have been created in the wild. And that leaves only one explanation for where it really came from: the lab.

Engineered and then released into the wild
The evidence now points to this deadly strain of e.coli being engineered and then either being released into the food supply or somehow escaping from a lab and entering the food supply inadvertently. If you disagree with that conclusion -- and you're certainly welcome to -- then you are forced to conclude that this octobiotic superbug (immune to eight classes of antibiotics) developed randomly on its own... and that conclusion is far scarier than the "bioengineered" explanation because it means octobiotic superbugs can simply appear anywhere at any time without cause. That would be quite an exotic theory indeed.

I guess you want to undertsand why "THEY are trying to do away with mankind. Get your Bibles out because it has EVERYTHING to do with REVELATIONS/ the end times and what Yehweh warned about in the Bible. The ones who are behind it all are from the blood line of Cain who are the sons of Satan, which are the very fallen Angels that was kicked out of Heaven along with Satan when he rebelled against GOD. It basically started in the Garden of Eden when JEHOVAH created man in his own image. This made Satan angry so Satan set out to destroy mankind by way of SIN. So for centrys Satan and his seed line set up a plan to destroy mankin. Satan  plans on returning very soon to control the world and in order for him to do this they must gain complete control over ever man, women and child. There seems to be more of "us" than them so they wont to reduce the number of mankind because that way it makes it much eazy to control us.

I'm thinking that this is also being done to scare people into throwing away tons of food that may not be effected by any of these bio-weapons (e.coli) so they can set-up A FORCED FAMINE BY REDUCING FOOD BY THE TONS. They are NOT going to get away with this in the long run!!! There is a place bult for them all called "THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE". That's were they are all going in the end.

Umm...I guess BIG PHARMA doesnt care if folks have a clue to what they are up too. Their just going MURDER people off the face of the Earth and dont care who knows. That's very bold of them. ( Pulling out the old 12 guage lets see 260 rounds...click" click" pump' click"). Time to take a stand.

I agree, this has the Pirbright Laboratory 'Finger-prints' all over it.

I  believe  the  whole  question  is  -  WHY??  Was  'Mad  Cow'  disease  octobiotic  or  bioengineered?

Is  some  'race  of  scientists'  crazy  enough  to  do  this?  Why  worry  about  Nukes  when  we  have  a  bunch  of  carzy  scientists  wipeing  out  humans  with  a  'bug'??  Bean  sprouts  are  sold  and  consummed  all  over  the  world.   If  killing  off  people  with  a  deadly  strain  of  e.coli  is  the  way  of  getting  rid  of  the  population,  or  a  large  population  there  of,  then  so  be  it.  It  is  definately  more  humane  than  being  burned  to  a  chrisp  by  a  nuke!!!  If  this  happened  randomly  on  it  own,  from  what  I  know  of  Science,  would  be  a  scary  situation.  It  could  happen  to  any  strain  of  bacteria!!!  The  Human  Race  wouldn't  stand a chance of surviving!!
