More must be done to fight 'superbugs': U.S. gov't report - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" remain a major public health threat,
and only a multipronged attack can address the problem, a new U.S.
government report warns. [...] Scientists have long known that bacteria have ways of thwarting the
drugs designed to kill them. But in recent decades, overuse and misuse
of antibiotics have fueled a global spread of drug-resistant bugs, which
include Clostridium difficile, or C-diff, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA."
Comment: It's pretty scary to think that our antibiotics might fail. I'm glad they are working on the problem. Let's hope they have both the time and the funding they need.
