Deadly E-coli Bacteria : Bioengineered in Lab ??!!

An outbreak of a peculiar strain of the E. coli bacteria has already taken 40 lives worldwide.

This E-coli bacteria is resistant to 8 different classes of antibiotics. A bacteria can resist to only one or two of the antibiotics in natural way.

But in this case for resistance against 8 classes of antibiotics, they must be repeatedly exposed to all these antibiotics.


This cannot happened naturally. Only way is bioengineering in Lab, by first exposing E-coli bacteria to antibiotics one by one in batch processing, till it gets resistance against all the antibiotics.

This is not the first time the bacteria/virus bio-engineered.

Horlicks vs Complan vs Boost vs Bournvita

There is a lot of debate over which is better Horlicks or Complan or Boost or Bournvita?

Recently, there was Advertisement war between Complan and Horlicks in medias.
I had found a nice articles which says that Complan is best compared to other drinks.

One more thing is Complan is based on Milk based proteins is superior to Horlicks malt based nutrition.

Horlicks is sold as sleeping drink in UK. But, here in india its sold as health drink.
