There is a new disease going around, this lethal disease under the name of E. coli.(Phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase). This new infection occurs within the lower intestines of warm blooded animals that are being raised with antibiotics daily. E. coli kills more than 10,000 people in the United States every year. More than 87% of the warm blooded animals raised in the United States, are raised with the use of antibiotics. This infection is one of the most lethal infections in the entire world (world ranking #3.)

Alirida Noureddine, a Unis middle school journalist believes that “this infection must be dealt with before it gets out of hand. If this bacteria mutates it could wipe out human existence. I heard that this disease is found  in most warm blooded animals such as chicken.” Alirida believes that “ this is a very deadly infection, if I were a scientist, I would find the source of the infection by analyzing a mammal and find whats causing this lethal disease.” It is clear Alirida is very interested in why this bacteria was accumulated over a long period of time.

Jamil baydoun a Unis middle school student believes that “this is not a normal bacteria that you would take medicine to fight it off, this bacteria is very resistant to most antibiotics. In order for the human body to fight off this lethal bacteria, the immune system has to fight it off without the reinforcements of other antibiotics.” Also this bacteria has a high mutation level, so if human existence wants to last, scientists need to act quickly.” when a human catches E. coli, it is not diagnosed as E. coli it is referred to as KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase.) Most people who catch KPC are not expected to live unless they have a very strong immune system. KPC attacks the immune system at least expected moments, slowly weakening it until your body can’t fight it off.

Reem abdulrazak, a Unis middle school student says that “ i have heard about this diseases outbreak and this must be dealt with immediately.” “if we don’t act fast it could potentially wipe out human existence and also not just humans animals as well.” So far biomedical engineers have discovered that this disease is caused because sick people believe that they feel better, and stop using the medicine prescribed to them, which allows the remaining bacteria to become resistant to the medicine, therefore the bacteria mutates and attacks the human immune system.

In conclusion this disease must be contained in order for the human civilization to survive. Biomedical engineers must act quickly and swiftly in order to find a cure to E. coli. Every day we become one step closer to a cure for this lethal disease. If biomedical engineers grasp their goal and find a cure, that cure will save more than 10,000 people from dying to E. coli each year.
