I think there is a desperate need for multi-billion dollar rewards for development of new antibiotics. One major issue is drug resistant bacteria will make operations impractical. The major killer of operations in the past was not the operation itself but infections afterward.

We should be taking the billions poured into HIV/AIDS research and developing new antibiotics instead.
And closing the freaking border, where people with TB, scabies and various other conditions get to come across without even the screening they did at Ellis Island. The EV-68 pandemic last year was the result of that.

No mention in any article I’ve seen about the woman from PA. Did she die? Has she recovered. They’ve known about this for a month. Why now? Is Hillary doing poorly?

Given the speed with which HIV has savaged the population, it’s only a matter of time for this.

The fuse has been lit.

"The authors wrote that the discovery 'heralds the emergence of a truly pan-drug resistant bacteria.'"

Hardly seems worth celebrating. Did they herald the emergence of obama in the same manner?

This should be in breaking news. This is a disaster. We are going to pay for it within the next 5-10 years. Maybe less.

Golly! Wouldn't it have been nice to let the public know where this person had been and how she might acquired the awful bug?

Let me make a guess:

See Medieval Potion Kills Superbug MRSA Better Than Antibiotic Vancomycin - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3274679/posts

However, “Rumbaugh tested the stuff in tissue taken from mice infected with MRSA. The salve will have to be made using more modern methods before anyone can test it in a living animal, she said.”

This old recipe may kill the colistin-resistant E. coli also.

There is a good chance that it will only work using the original methods and “more modern methods” will weaken the salve. But in any case it will take years and millions or billions of dollars before it would be approved if it will work with “modern methods.”

SO WHO is this person?
