Staph superbug may be infecting patients
Staph superbug may be infecting patients

ATLANTA - A dangerous, drug-resistant staph germ may be infecting as many as 5 percent of hospital and nursing home patients, according to a comprehensive study.
At least 30,000 U.S. hospital patients may have the superbug at any given time, according to a survey released Monday by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology.
The estimate is about 10 times the rate that some health officials had previously estimated.
Some federal health officials said they had not seen the study and could not comment on its methodology or its prevalence. But they welcomed added attention to the problem.
"This is a welcome piece of information that emphasizes that this is a huge problem in health care facilities, and more needs to done to prevent it," said Dr. John Jernigan, an epidemiologist with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

MOST of these new, drug-resistant diseases are a result of people NOT taking their meds (penicillin, etc) for the FULL time they are told to...this gives the disease the ability to survive and mutate to counteract these drug's effects. It is simply a matter of time before we have a MAJOR epidemic the likes of which will make the black plaque look like a circus.

LOL, Oh yea, we had a good time on Sirius. Ted Nugent ended up taking a lot of the time, but overall it was pretty cool. Well, I don't think it equates to that much free advertising in the end. Most will forget the URL's by the time they get home, LOL.
