RLLD 3,455 Posted May 27, 2016 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2016/05/26/the-superbug-that-doctors-have-been-dreading-just-reached-the-u-s/ For the first time, researchers have found a person in the United States carrying bacteria resistant to antibiotics of last resort, an alarming development that the top U.S. public health official says could mean “the end of the road” for antibiotics. The antibiotic-resistant strain was found last month in the urine of a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman. Defense Department researchers determined that she carried a strain of E. coli resistant to the antibiotic colistin, according to a study published Thursday in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a publication of the American Society for Microbiology. The authors wrote that the discovery “heralds the emergence of a truly pan-drug resistant bacteria.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,485 Posted May 27, 2016 Every species on earth, except man and his domesticated animals, follow the natural law of nature Survival of the Fittest. We are intentionally becoming physically weaker as a species while the world gets stronger and our survival skills, (fear, hate, anger, etc) are being stripped from from us through social engineering. This will not end well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
