Good heads-up ...
and some - slightly - good news ...
"The super-strain designated H041 was found to have infected a female Japanese sex worker in 2011 and was resistant to "last line of defense" antibiotics in the family of cephalosporins - such as the drugs cefixime and ceftriaxone. This strain has been found nowhere else."
Having said that ...
There have been no deaths from the H041 "superbug strain," and yet William Smith, executive director of the National Coalition of STD, declared that it is an "emergency situation... As time moves on, it's getting more hazardous."
"The potential for disaster is great," he continued. "That's what's kind of scary about this, we are at lows in terms of infections [Read: one non-fatal infection], but this strain is a very tricky bug and we don't have anything medically to fight it right now." Smith appeared before congressional lawmakers to ask for $54 million to create new antibiotics to combat this "superstrain."
so ... as you read this ...

consider yourself lucky,
very lucky,

Something to watch out for, in the brave new world we're creating for our children. |
