Well, some professionals are saying the exact opposite of what you said so I'm inclined to believe them
The title made me think of this :v:

Well penicillin and vancomycin works similarly to the initial stage of HAMLET, in that it also binds to the cell membrane, and then weakens it. Resistance to those two antibiotics works by producing a protein capable of destroying the antibiotic faster than it can tear down the cell membrane. Some strains have also mutated to change the structure of their membranes slightly, preventing penicillin from binding to it in the first place.
I see no reason why something similar couldn't happen in the case of HAMLET.
Time will tell.
Am I the only one who honestly couldn't come up with anything before reading the article?
Side effects of HAMLET include hallucinations of deceased family members and suicidal tendencies.

do you drink it regularly or something?
I thought the OP was going to say weed when i read that title.
So I'm guessing Wet Nurse will be the next hot job in the medical industry. It could be worse, I was thinking the cure was poop based, since poop bacteria is the Green Beret(or Brown beret usually) of the germ world. A doctor smearing poop on you or MRSA? Tough choice, is it organic poop at least?
Breast milk though, that's different, that's a cure that doesn't suck.
[QUOTE=Pierrewithahat;40862089]Here's what will happen.
We use this, MRSA becomes immune to it by changing it's surface proteins, rendering the protein useless and MRSA carries on being a fucking cunt to deal with.[/QUOTE]
Proteins are much larger, more complex, and easily changed to evade deactivation than simpler compounds like antibiotics. Source is I work with proteins at a gov research lab , specifically on a catalytic antidote for sarin. It's not difficult to modify this protein to evade the bacteria's defences and it would be next to impossible for a bacteria to be completely immune to all antibiotics and all pathways of this protein.

Quick invent plasma cutters
Breasts cure everything.
The key here is we have something we can mutate against bacteria in the same way they mutate against us. Basically a lab does mutagenesis checks for dead bacteria sends the dna sequence to other labs rinse repeat
If a bacteria evolves a non-depolarizeable shell it isn't polarized and thus isn't resistant to the antibiotic.
One thing is for sure: the type of defense bacteria have against antibiotics is FAR different from the type of defense it would need to deactivate a protein. It would need to create a molecule to clog it up, and just evolving a synthase that specific out of thin air doesn't seem likely to me.
Laughter might be the best medicine, but HAMLET is the breast medicine.

...you don't?
Came here hoping it was nano tubes
