The Center for disease control has issued a report estimating the occurrence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The germ has been previously referred to as the superbug and flesh eating bacteria. Unfortunately, once infected with the germ it is extremely hard to eradicate often resulting in a horrible death.
The Center estimates that more than 90,000 people are in fact infected a year. The drug is generally resistant to most antibiotics and is spreading beyond its traditional hospital home. There is now a recognized variation for community acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. That means that the average person is at risk for developing this potentially deadly germ. It has been found to spread in prisons, gyms and locker rooms and in poor urban neighborhoods. Even healthy people can have the pathogen living on their skin or in their noses. Recently a 17-year-old Virginia football student died from such an infection. A story which made the local news.
The report called for better preventative measures. These measures include the limiting of antibiotics improved hand washing techniques and better hygienic procedures among physicians and hospital workers.
