Doctors Struggle to Contain New Bacteria

ABC News' Dr. Richard Besser has the details on this nightmare bug.

good luck telling a nurse to go wash her hands and getting a positive reaction

[theraspberryman]

many health care workers are being taught to accept being asked to wash hand as a precautionary measure and to not take it offensively.

YouTube...New Life? Russian scientists discover unidentified bacteria

[insomnia]

That freakin sucks we have to live in this type of world having to worry all the time about new disease spreading and of it infecting our families. It's just not the right direction for the future generation.

As a nurse, if I forget I would be happy to be reminded... I don't want to take those germs home with me anymore than I want to spread them from patient to patient... :)

I work in a hospital. I'm going to spread this bug around

you'd probably get a 10 minute lecture on how you're not the boss of her and how she has 2 jobs -_- lol

Can you guys say Umbrella Corporation? From Resident Evil except literally in real life.

One more reason to stay out of the fucking hospital!

[ZeroPointZap]

Maybe they shouldn't have created it in the first place.. duh.

Man thinks that having a brain makes you dominant, Bacteria have millions of years on us and they've been using those years to their advantage.  When one bacteria of one species can take up genetic material from another bacteria of a totally different species and use it to their advantage I would put them in a very high category of adaptability.  Bacteria are always evolving and finding ways to get around the different defense set up by their host and given enough time they do find that crack and slip by.  It's funny, or not so funny, when you listen to CEO's of the different drug companies talking about the number of different antibiotics that were basically killed in the pipeline do to their un-profitability and the reluctance of the federal government to allocate tax dollars for the R& D of new and more powerful drugs, which by the way there were some in early trials when we bailed out the Wall Street thieves with hundreds of billions of dollars.  It's surprising that something so important is not getting any real news time, that being said the public better take the warning being given very serious, we have a big problem and it's becoming dire and all I hear people talking about is the money that it will cost to bring new drugs to market, well if the US government can keep giving billions and billions away people need to start telling those thieves in DC to stop giving money to their friends and failures and give money that may actually do something for the people who give the Lions share.  In the end, it will not matter how rich you are, oh you may survive awhile long on life support, but in the end if we don't do something rich and poor will all die from these smart little survivor's and they'll be here and we won't.
