“Superbug” Spreads To 35 States; Kills 40% Of The People Who Come In Contact

My fecal matter has a red bubbly and slightly slimy substance coating it when i go number 2, is that the superbug?

GLP was the rapture !?!!

It all makes sense now. whoa.

OP and the others better stop scaring people, This is a sanitation disease or lack of,..

I worked in a nursing home they always stressed being clean and keeping patients clean or else theyd catch a fatal bacterium

From ABC news.com

CRKP is an enterobacterium like salmonella and E. coli.

It is unclear how many cases of the 350 reported by Terashita and colleagues were fatal. It is also unclear whether the infections stemmed from improper care at long term-care facilities or the frailty of the patients they serve. But Terashita said infected patients tended to have health problems that often resulted in antibiotic use, which might have made them more susceptible.

"All of these factors contribute to a greater risk for health care-acquired infections," she said.

Besser said, "This superbug is very dangerous. It tends to affect people that are in the hospital for long periods of time; people that have underlying medical problems; people who have been in nursing homes."

Although healthy people in the general public are not at risk for infection, they could transmit the bacteria to sick loved ones.

dont you dare question me!!!! like every other informed GLPer i reach up into my arse and pull the first fact that comes out.....IM AWAKE.....UNLIKE YOU SHEEP.

no......its probably evil japan radiation from pearl harbour meant to distract you from the iluminati....

Fear's death toll is even higher ! It wipes out all the cowards !

yes.. obviously that is a typo... What I meant to say is it is a super bug because it is resistant to antibiotics as are most viruses, which you have corrected to as are all viruses.

Still, this don't change the fact the OP made the claim this is nothing more than a new strain of the FLU which it clearly is not.

This is a dirty bacterium spreading amongst bed ridden people that are hard to keep clean in the first place and they are already very sickly

Youre not going to be a healthy businessman walking down the street and all the sudden it floats thru the air and you catch it and you have a 40 percent chance of it taking you down

This is GLP with inaccurate , uneducated scare tactics at its worst,

Only time you should be worried if you have a loved one in hospice care or very ill in a nursing home or hospital.

theres a back log from gulf oil and japanese nuclear radioatcion.It the powers that be werent so damn incompetent we would of had them by now......

This is being spread not just though old age homes... but through many different medical facilities, most notably acute care facilities, eg. trauma centers at your local hospital.

This is a 2010 map. Not saying the bug isn't there, just the number of cases is a very small percent of the population.

Anyone that drinks alcohol and takes prescriptions is a fool. Alcohol affects the antibiotics as I understand that probably creates super strains. T

If you're not elderly in a care facility, QUIT WORRYING!

so what the fuck is it??

in your "correction" you reiterate your original fuckup!

and it wasn't "obviously" a typo... arrogant and smug know-it-alls like you constantly fuck up in your diatribes and then resort to the "obviously what i meant to say" line to cover your screw ups.

but you can't even do that now because you obviously meant what you wrote the first time.

lol

hi alex!

Bullshit disease being floated again as a cover for radiation poisoning! Do not fall for this!

Listen kids!


These are part of many, many super bugs.

They are bacteria that have become resistant to most (if not all) Antibiotics.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Staph Aureus is NORMAL FLORA FOR YOUR BODY.

Yet it is very opportunistic. Meaning, if it gets somewhere it is not supposed to be---it causes problems. It is like every other bacteria—meaning it will adapt to survive. AKA—become resistant to something trying to kill it.


OK

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is another Normal Flora family of bacteria

Example
E. Coli
Psedomonas
Proteus

Quote from article OP linked to
“The KPC gene makes Enterobacteriaceae bacteria resistant to all beta-lactam/carbapenem antibiotics”

We report these in the Medical World as MDRO

Multi-Drug-Resistant-Organisms

Klebsiella is another one. You here in the media world (Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, or CRKP)


Once again the “carbapenems” means

Carbapenems are a class of beta-lactam antibiotics with a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]


Now are these scary.
Yes very.
Because most of these you are hearing about now USED TO BE VERY EASY TO KILL IN THE PAST.

Most of these mentioned in this post are the common cause of UTI’S and other common infection.

These are a lot of times normal flora like I said before, but when they get somewhere they are not supposed to be the cause problems. (Opportunistic)

In the last few years many bacteria have taken a SUPER JUMP in becoming resistant.

One reason is because big pharm is not really putting out any new Antibiotics.
The other reason is the OVER USES of what antibiotics we have.
Not just in human medicine, but in live stock feeds, etc, etc.
You should research how much we use antibiotics. Might just scare the hell out of you, lol.

You can’t run from this. All you can do is KEEP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM HEALTHY AND WASH YOUR HANDS.

Obviously these are going to be found in hospitals and nursing homes because this is where a large group of IMMUNE COMPROMISED PEOPLE ARE and they are SHARING DISEASE---AKA---GERM BREEDING GROUND.

These are VERY SERIOUS.
I am not trying to take away from OP thread, but I just want people to understand that these are bacteria that have been bombarded with antibiotics and they are MUTATING TO SURVIVE.

Every year more strains become more resistant.

No matter how resistant they become---Your immune system can defeat them.
But if your immune system is weak---YOU’RE INTROUBLE IF YOU GET INFECTED.

Example:

Elderly people come down all the time with these types of infections. If the elderly person’s immune system is shot completely, they are in big trouble. Even if you can find an antibiotic that works, YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE THE IMMUNE SYSTEMS HELP.

If there is a severe infection---YOU CAN NOT GIVE ENOUGH ANTIBIOTICS TO KILL ALL THE BACTERIA CAUSING THE PROBLEM WITHOUT KILLING THE PERSON (In a person that is completely Immunocompromised)

.

Without the immune system there is no chance of winning.

and Kiss my dick

lol, retarded psyop fail. dont forget to get your vaccines!!!

You gotta fucking be kidding me.
If I want stupid non-stories that have scary titles
I'll go back to watching tv broadcast news. Could you pease just ummm...... how do I put this politely.....???????????
I don't know.......
Just go fuck yourself and stop posting stupid shit.

^^ this ^^

DON'T BELIEVE A DAMN WORD YOU READ ON THIS WEBSITE!

The bacteria are equipped with a gene that enables them to produce an enzyme that disables antibiotics. The enzyme is called Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenamase, or KPC. It disables carbapenam antibiotics, last-ditch treatments for infections that don't respond to other drugs.

"We've lost our drug of last resort," Fishman says.

Doom on

COVER FOR RADIATION POISONING.

NO! and go drink some aloe vera.

This is complete bullshit and nothing new. Someone that I know that is a busy MD that spends plenty of time in the various ICUs and says this is not some "superbug" like most of you envision it and you all are tarding over nothing. There are many forms of bacteria that are highly resistant to antibiotics, and most of these particular infections manifest themselves in hospitals or other care facilities.

Oil of Oregano is an ally against crap like this. A friend of mine who is an RN got MRSA that would not respond to antibiotics. No matter what they threw on it, nothing worked. Oil of Oregano took it away and it never returned.

So what you're saying is that you only trust the MSM.
