A particular type of reversal occurs in a zone so crucial to reality. Although the hospital is the sole source of cure and support in various manners, only recently the hospitals have confronted the problem of hospital-acquired infections. Now, the hospital increasingly becomes a site for breeding, mutating, and transmitting new and resitant microbes rather than a refuge for humans to eliminate them. This switch has not only created a problem, but opens the doors for novel biotechnological endeavors to create a solution. In order to remedy this problem, biotechnology companies seek to fix the antibiotic method from the inside. This attempt is not only a reminder of the power of natural selection and survivial of the fittest, but it is also a reflection of man's continuing attempts to delineate and maintain a crucial boundary between the external from the internal, which occur in nature.
