If the leadership in Washington is any indication of what cognitive thought has devolved into, I can't say this comes as a surprise. The only term I haven't seen associated with an extinction event is the word "humility." It's rare even in the vernacular of most Christians in the modern day.

[/quote] [b]Unfiltered Hefeweizen. B-Vitamins. Now I have a reason to fill a saline bag with it while I'm killing off a "boot." In the event the bacteria is somehow resistant, the bacteria and its host are going out in grand fashion. [/quote] [/b] A/C, Would you please tell us more about this treatment you mention? [/quote]
Original Message
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is alerting clinicians of an emerging untreatable multidrug-resistant organism in the United States.
There are many forms of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), but of the 37 forms reported in the U.S., 15 have been reported in less than a year.
The CDC said the increase in CRE means health care providers need to “act aggressively to prevent the emergence and spread of these unusual CRE organisms.”
Enterobacteriaceae lives in water, soil and the human gut. These “surperbugs” have developed high levels of resistance to antibiotics – even carbapanems.
Individuals who usually develop CRE infections are those who are taking antibiotics and getting significant medical treatment for other conditions.
