Everybody say "thank you scientists for using science to make our lives better!".

[from occupied ga]

Well now let’s force the pharmaceutical companies to sell it for a nickel a dose because they make “obscene profits” and “we have a right to health care” < /sarcasm> Sarcasm tag needed for the Obama supporters and those who pray for Teddy Kennedy on this forum.

Ohhhh but what about the poooor liddle bacterias?!? Don’t they have a right to exist in our eco-structure without being murdered by the genocidal scientists who think it’s ok to just wipe out bacteria without even ASKING them how they feel about it?

I’ve had MRSA, it sent me to the ER.

THANK YOU SCIENTISTS!!!!!

[vanishing liberty]

I don’t understand how scientists can be so smart about things like this and so stupid about evolution and global warming. It’s a bit of a mystery.

Now, if doctors will just refrain from ever, ever prescribing any antibiotic, let alone this one that is effective against MRSA and the like, to willfully ignorant patients who insist upon an antibiotic for a virus, we’ll be getting somewhere. Additionally, doctors need to ensure that any correctly prescribed course of antibiotics is completed by following up and checking to see if the bacterial infection is indeed cleared up, rather than leaving bacteria that could form resistance to that particular antibiotic and possibly spread.

I would nominate this article as the most significant story of the current century.

Bacterium is cute.

[hosepipe]

What they need to do is come up with a Virus-cide that works.. So far bupkis..

It’s a cephalosporin and the bacteria will eventually get a handle on it as they have on others in its class. But for now...death to staph!
