Study finds new genetic mutations behind antibiotic resistance - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Scientists from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in
Massachusetts, have identified new genetic mutations that cause
high-level antibiotic resistance.
According to a 2013 report from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, antibiotic-resistant infections kill at least 23,000 people
in the United States annually."
Comment: If you are taking antibiotics, follow your doctor's advice and take all of them until the treatment is complete. If you stop taking your medicine when you start to feel better but before your treatment is over you are giving the strongest bacteria a chance to grow. Don't be part of the problem.
