Infections with CRE are difficult to treat and have been associated with mortality rates as high as 40-50%. Due to the movement of patients throughout the healthcare system, if CRE are a problem in one facility, then typically they are a problem in other facilities in the region as well. To help protect patients and prevent transmission, CDC has released a CRE toolkit which expands on the 2009 CDC recommendations and continues to be updated as new information becomes available.

Superbug CRE may endure in patients one year after initial infection Patients who tested positive for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) took an average of 387 days following hospital discharge to be clear of the organism, according to a new study published in the March issue of the American Journal of Infection Control, the official publication of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is alerting clinicians of an emerging untreatable multidrug-resistant organism in the United States. Quoting: DoorBert 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. [link to www.foxnews.com] Sounds like the squirts. Lot of that went around this year. |

Leadership is no longer about management and public service. It's about control. God Almighty, look around you. We live in a police state. In the event this is an unnatural event, a biological threat hatched in a lab somewhere (like Plum Island, for instance), then for starters, there are consequences for playing God. Secondly, what better way to reduce the population without firing a shot? And for anyone who doesn't believe that's possible, they'd be living in denial. NBC's have threatened soldiers on the battlefield for a century. Why not civilian populations? What's the difference? What's the strategic end-game to war anyway? CONTROL, CONTROL, CONTROL. |

A hospital is the very LAST place you want to be in the event of an outbreak of any kind. If you're in the city, you're pretty-well screwed. If you live in the suburbs, you'll want to "didi" into a rural area. And if you're a rural resident, you'd be well-advised to drop incoming migrants as far out as you can shoot. "New America" will rely on the residents of Appalachia to repopulate if they are willing to come out of the mountains. |
