Fortunately, it's still mostly true that the so-called superbugs are only successful at infecting people with already reduced immune systems. So they're only "super" in their resistance against common ABs, not in infectiousness. It's irony that the environments most suited to their propagation is where people go when they do have reduced immune systems. Whether of old age, injury or other diseases. IOW, it's where you would expect such bugs to thrive. It's their habitat. BTW, it's also a serious problem that their existence can undermine people's confidence in the healthcare system. :-( Jostein -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
