MRSA is nasty and it can take out relatively healthy people. It is a big problem at hospitals in America and the UK. It is underreported because hospitals are not required to report it to CDC or the public. But privately among doctors/staff it is a huge problem. There’s only one drug that can knock it out and it’s only a matter of time before it mutates to be able to deal with that.

Isn't that drug Vancomycin? There is also a nasty bug called VRE (Vancomycin Resistant).
