Antibiotic Resistance

I believe this new study which will look at drug resistant bacteria is very important
and greatly needed.
The rate of MRSA is rapidly increasing in this population with fewer
antibiotics being effective to treat patients. We now have a large rate of so-called superbugs.
Some Bacteria have mutated and become resistant to antibiotics such as pencillin.
Science then made a methecillin which the bacteria are also resistant to.
Some resistant bacteria are Staphlococcus aureus or Klebsiella pneumoniae and E-coli.
Before Physicians actually knew the long term effects of antibiotics, they were prescribed more often than they are now. Now these bacteria have mutated and developed a resistance to
some antibiotics.
