the new Antarctic pharmaceutical industry

Sponge trumps modern medicine.

An extract from a sponge in Antarctica, synthesized by researchers, was shown in lab tests to break down biofilms formed by MRSA, killing 98 percent of cells after exposure to it...
Researchers at USF found the sponge during research trips to Antarctica to study the chemical ecology there, looking for invertebrates to use in a search for natural substances with a potential pharmaceutical use.

Upon being removed from its natural habitat, the first specimen was reported to have grabbed a microphone from nowhere and dropped it on the research vessel's deck before doing a reverse double gainer dive into the sea and flipping off the crew.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most targeted antibiotics had success rates in the same range until stupid people failed to use as fucking directed and the 1% of bacteria that barely survived their first and only dose were allowed to reproduce.

So my hope for this is not so high.

Then we find some other heretofore seemingly useless animal that's evolved a more effective way.
