Interesting discovery, but if antibiotics are developed from a tool our immune systems already use, there's a serious risk of increasing bacterial immunity to our innate defenses. Humans are already overusing every antibiotic ever developed without paying enough attention to growing antibiotic resistance.

We'll see where this ends up 30 years from now.


Another example for why banning researchers (from whichever country) is a dumb idea (these ones weren't, but other Israeli researchers were).
