It has been found that most cases seem to have originated from India and Pakistan. I wonder how many of those that come to the U.S. carry this virus? Remember that when the colonists came over to the New World here in what was to become the new United States of America their virus's they brought with them dam near wiped out all the Indians, some tribes were completely wiped out, most very severely effected by them because they had no immunity because it did not exist on this side of the ocean. It's as if this was all planned ...a medical genocide of Europe and the Americas. [/quote] Amen Sistah Ben, Shot the rooster, scared the hen. :shesright: [/quote]

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."
