SUPERBUGS VS MEDICAL SCIENCE (AND US)Time to revisit a very touchy subject, antibiotic resistant germs. We don’t like talking about it anymore than you want to hear about it but... it is getting to the point of crisis. As a new report says;
“The purpose of this document, however, is to call attention to a frightening twist in the antibiotic resistance problem that has not received adequate attention from federal policymakers: The pharmaceutical pipeline for new antibiotics is drying up.”
The full report with some ideas on how to fix it (if they can in time) can be found at:
Bad Bugs, No Drugs Executive Summary
Another report from Science Daily downplays the danger but asserts it is important:
“Drug resistance in microorganisms has become a problem due in part to inappropriate prescribing and overuse of antibiotics. These drug-resistant “superbugs” can infect people and cause health problems that are difficult to address with the standard antibiotic regimens. One of the culprits is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, an organism that was associated mainly with hospital-acquired infections, but is becoming increasingly common in the general community, as has been reported recently in the medical literature. It can cause problems ranging from skin infections to severe bloodstream infections and even death.” See:
