She's right about the drug-resistant bugs. Also, MRSA has been around for years. Nothing new about it.

VRSA is even worse--vancomycin resistant staph aureus. Vanco is a BIG GUN in antibiotics. When bacterial strains get resistant to it, that's bad.

Isn't it pretty much the last gun in antibiotics? VRSA is a very bad thing - there's nothing left in the arsenal to fight that one.
