Things evolve, and bacteria strains evolve fast.

This is a big concern when Vanc loses its effectiveness against MRSA, what are you left with, Zyvox?

not good at all.

I’m no microbiologist, but I think there are three major factors to what makes a microbe a major threat to public health; how communicable it is, how virulent it is, and how treatable it is.

This MSRA is a major problem because it’s resistance. Bad in one of the factors. Now the new strain is more virulent and causes more mortality. The only thing keeping it from becoming a major health problem is it’s communicability.

The question is - what were the conditions of the people who developed this new strain as an infection - before the infection took hold? I see a 50% mortality and think - this is some nasty stuff, sure enough - but were the people who were infracted already very unhealthy due to the underlying cause of their hospital visit in the first place? The commenta about more advanced age (of those who developed this strain) hints at that - but where is the rest of this story?
