Chapter 588: A Wake-Up Call, Targeted Killing of Bacteria!
Another busy day passed, and Gretel returned to the consulting room with tired steps, and collapsed at the table on the spot.
After the necrotizing fasciitis surgery on his right hand, although there was no major surgery on this day, it did not mean that he would have time to rest next. See X-rays, read electrocardiograms, do B-ultrasounds...
Just instructing the priests in Heartland City made Grete talk dry and almost broke his leg.
After the free clinic was over, the priests went back to their homes and looked for their mothers... No, when praying to their respective gods, Grete also had to receive special training:
"Here, try the magical sterilization again - let me see, why can't you still do it?"
Grete was also puzzled.
In terms of targeted killing, he can already use the parasite's body and eggs to directly target all forms of the parasite and kill it all over the body;
In terms of microscopic locking, he can also brainstorm the molecular formula of urea or the atomic weight and characteristics of cadmium to perform targeted detoxification;
The two are combined into one, magical sterilization, magical directional expulsion of certain bacteria, shouldn't it be impossible?
Gretel stared blankly at the rabbit in front of him. On the rabbit's legs, the gray-yellow hair was shaved clean, and a piece of skin was scratched, and a layer of culture medium was applied on it - a layer of Staphylococcus aureus that had just been selectively bred before.
Gretel knew that if the sterilization was not successful, these Staphylococcus aureus bacteria would enter the rabbit's body along with the blood, multiply wildly, secrete toxins, and eventually cause it to fall into high fever and die of multiple organ failure. but……
He pressed his fingers to the rabbit's forehead. The rabbit shook his head, his long ears moved and brushed against the back of his hand. Gretel closed his eyes slightly and recalled carefully in his heart:
"Staphylococcus aureus... Gram-positive, spherical, about 1 μm in diameter, arranged in grape clusters... no spores, no flagella..."
"The genus Staphylococcus is currently divided into 40 species and 24 subspecies..."
"Highly sensitive to penicillin, chlortetracycline, gentamicin and erythromycin, and prone to develop drug resistance..."
Grete's fingertips, the light of the healing technique fell gently, sweeping from the top of the rabbit's head to its toes. Elder Erwin sat next to him, felt the rabbit's condition, and shook his head in disappointment.
"It still doesn't work... Where are you stuck? Isn't it what you said, Staphylococcus aureus? You cultivated it yourself and saw it under a microscope. Why can't you kill it?"
"But, this is not necessarily true..."
Grete shook his head blankly. Elder Erwin was shocked on the spot:
"Why doesn't it have to be the case? You said it yourself!"
But that is a simple definition given for beginners to remember easily. If we really dig deeper, what grows together with Staphylococcus aureus may be other different species of the same genus;
Direct smear microscopy of the specimen can only make a preliminary diagnosis based on the bacterial morphology, arrangement and staining characteristics;
What's more, he hasn't even produced the ammonium oxalate crystal violet used for Gram staining yet, and he still dyes it with other pigments casually. Whether this thing is Gram-positive or not, he judges based on experience...
With this level of knowledge, how could he ensure that the targeted killing technique would definitely target Staphylococcus aureus?
A microscope with a magnification of 1,000 times can only see small dots of 1 mm in size, clustered together in groups. The capsule, cytoplasm, and spores are not clear at all...
What if I kill the wrong person?
What if we kill other harmless or even beneficial bacteria?
There are many flora in the human body. If you kill them randomly, it will interfere with the flora in the body and cause problems...
Grete shook his head silently, not knowing how to explain it to the teacher. The key is, how to explain the source of this knowledge?
It's not like I made it one petri dish after another, one rabbit after another. There is no experiment and no evidence. How can we continue to rely on the divine revelation of the God of Nature?
What a joke!
Elder Erwin looked at Grete's expression, his thick eyebrows gradually furrowed. After a long time, he sighed and rubbed his eyebrows:
"Little Grete, there are some things you don't want to say, so the teacher won't ask. However, the teacher understands why you can't kill bacteria: you don't have confidence in yourself, right?"
Grete nodded silently. I really have no confidence. The more I learn and know, the less I have confidence. Elder Erwin shook his head:
"During that plague, when I killed the dysentery bacillus you mentioned, I wasn't very confident. After all, it was a new thing, a gadget made by a priest's apprentice..."
And this is the first time that the causative factors have been pushed to the micro level. In that case, the probability of Elder Erwin not believing him is actually much higher than believing him.
"But, what if this is the right thing to do? What if it really works, wouldn't it be possible to save so many people? That's what I thought at the time. I gave it a try, and it worked..."
Grete sat up straight, his face gradually becoming serious. In fact, the same goes for doctors. Surgeons and physicians often fumble their way forward when facing patients and diseases.
Maybe this antibiotic will help... maybe cutting this piece off will help... maybe... maybe... maybe...
"I have told you before that the so-called magic is actually the power of the soul, the power of 'belief'. You believe in this power and you hope that this power will work, which is the beginning of its interference with reality."
So idealistic? Belief and hope are the beginning of everything?
Gretel always thought that spiritual power - which should also be a kind of energy - was used to pull the energy of the material world and affect reality. But okay, the fundamental working mechanism of magic and divine magic has not been solved yet. Public opinion is reasonable, mother-in-law is reasonable...
"So, if your loved one is infected, wouldn't you try hard?"
Elder Erwin changed his tone, his eyes were dark, his tone was deep, and he seemed to have an echo of his own. Gretel stared into his eyes, and unconsciously, her thoughts were wandering:
Yes, what if someone is infected with certain bacteria that cannot be cured by existing treatments?
What if these bacteria cannot be cured by antibiotics? Apart from anything else, if Staphylococcus aureus continues to mutate and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) emerges...
Even in order to prevent the misuse of antibiotics and prevent the rapid iteration of Staphylococcus aureus, it is best to learn the targeted killing magic as soon as possible!
"try again!"
With a snap, Elder Erwin waved his hand and slapped Gretel hard on the back of the head. At the same time, he gathered his mental strength and shouted:
"Right now!"
"yes!"
Grete responded subconsciously. He turned his head slightly and glanced at the remaining yellow colonies on the petri dish. White light bloomed on his fingertips:
No matter what genus or species it is, in short, Staphylococcus aureus that matches my knowledge, give it to me—die to all of them!
