As superbugs spread across the globe, death rates from antimicrobial resistance are set to double, says England’s former chief medical officer

I have seen plausible modelling that indicates this may well be a significant underestimate based both on the widespread use (and abuse) of antibiotics and the behaviours of some of the ‘new’ antibiotics resistant bacteria.

While its not really news, warning about the antibiotic crisis continue to be voiced, while at the same time our (the world's) addiction to over-deploying them goes on.
It may be too late to halt the rise of antibiotic resistant strains of infection & it seems likely we may be about to plunge back into C19th rates of mortality from diseases & medical interventions;
yet one more aspect of our lives where we are moving backwards not forwards.

Um, since cavities haven't been a problem for me (I've had just one), I think I'll switch back to using baking soda and peroxide again (with my own dried mint if I want mintiness).
Some Tom's of Maine toothpaste may be contaminated with #HarmfulBacteria, FDA says
#FDA's warning about multiple types of bacteria and "a black mold-like substance" found in a facility that makes #TomsOfMaine toothpaste has consumers worried about a possible recall.
November 20, 2024
"A recent inspection of a Tom's of Maine facility found 'significant violations' that included different types of bacteria detected in the water and the company's toothpaste, as well as a '#BlackMold-like substance' located behind a water storage tank, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
"The FDA determined the company's response to its findings was 'inadequate' and called for a 'thorough review of all #microbiological hazards,' according to a letter sent by the agency to the brand's parent company, Colgate-Palmolive.
"An inspection in May of a facility in #SanfordMaine, discovered the bacteria #PseudomonasAeruginosa in #water used to manufacture Tom’s Simply White Clean Mint Paste and to clean equipment. The bacteria can cause infections in the blood, lungs and urinary tract, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"The letter also stated that there were multiple incidents of finding a bacteria called #RalstoniaInsidiosa in water in the facility. A third type of bacteria, #ParacoccusYeei, was found in the finished product of the company's Wicked Cool! Anticavity Toothpaste, per the FDA. The type of Paracoccus yeei found can cause infection that may be resistant to #antibiotics.
"An FDA inspector also found 'a black mold-like substance' at the base of a hose reel behind a water storage tank within one foot of stainless-steel pails used to manufacture the toothpaste, according to the letter. 'Powder residues' were also seen in a stainless-steel tray next to a batch of #TomsSillyStrawberryAnticavity toothpaste.
"The company told the FDA that the room was thoroughly cleaned to remove the black substance and the powder residue, but the FDA called for more to be done."
