Honestly, as a researcher, we see plasmids carrying genes like NDM-1 spread through improper antibiotic use and travel, turning local resistance into a global crisis. Gene swapping lets bacteria evolve overnight, not over millennia, which is terrifying. My work in Hyderabad sequencing resistant strains shows sewage water near hospitals is a literal breeding soup for this swapping. It makes our new drugs obsolete before they even hit the market.
