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.
Bacteria will eventually beat this one also, if medical practice doesn’t change. Not to mention the mischief that will be caused by wiping out all the gut flora.
Interesting times ahead.
