Prevention vs treatment, indeed! I anticipate that as antibiotics become less effective that table manners and food handling hygiene will have a revival. For example we’ll go back to proper butter knives rather than everyone using their bread knife in the communal butter dish.

Antibiotics will likely become obsolete when you can target bacteria without the bystander side effects they have on our cells. They are the perfect antibacterial smart weapon really.
