The Rise of ‘Nightmare’ Bacteria: ‘Last Resort’ Antibiotics Useless

Hospitals and nursing homes could be left increasingly exposed to deadly superbugs amid warning signs that bacteria is becoming increasingly resistant to ‘last resort’ antibiotics.
The frightening scenario that ‘nightmare bacteria’ now carry a three-pronged threat to patients has sent a shiver down scientists in labs globally as they struggle to contain the super-resistance of the bugs. Such is there concern that US federal experts have called on the science community and health providers to pull together to unite and stop the spread of the diseases.
“It’s not often that our scientists come to me and say we have a very serious problem and we need to sound an alarm. But that’s exactly what we are doing today,” Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said.
The Washington Post reports him ominously warning: “Our strongest antibiotics don’t work, and patients are left with potentially untreatable infections.”
The bacteria, while not having spread, are becoming more dangerous and pose a real triple threat: they are resistant to all or nearly all antibiotics, including those of last resort; they kill up to half of patients who get bloodstream infections from them, and the bacteria can transfer their antibiotic resistance to other bacteria within the family, potentially making other bacteria untreatable.
Worse, this problem is going on everywhere, with the the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) previously citing the widespread misuse of antibiotics for the global rise of antibiotic resistance.
Such is the complex nature of the bacterium that there is a real threat that superbugs can spread the genes that destroy the ‘last resort’ antibiotics to other bacteria, such as Ecoli, therefore making Ecoli resistant to those same antibiotics.
It is this premise that scientists are increasingly worried that such a bacteria as E. coli – the most common cause of urinary tract infections in healthy people – could carry that Frieden went public.
Scientists have seen various bacteria strains, such as Ecoli, increase their resistance between four and seven times in the last decade leaving more patients exposed to the threat.
One form of bacteria from the same family of the Ecoli strain was found to have spread to 42 US states over the last 10 years from a single health facility. And in one US outbreak 12 of 19 patients died at a health facility. Seven attributed to an antibiotic-resistant strain of the bacterium Klebsiella pneumonia had immune systems weakened by cancer, genetic disorders or and given anti rejection drugs after organ transplants.
Despite the best efforts of the clinic’s infection control team to contain the contagion, the outbreak was still prevalent more than a year after as the superbug lingered on hard surfaces and inside patients.
Health officials have advised that the spread of germs can be controlled with proper precautions and better practices such as washing hands and dedicating staff, rooms and equipment to the care of patients, while those hospitalized should persist on doctors and nurses washing their own hands before touching them. Antibiotic resistance is a real issue, and we must stop it.

Worse, this problem is going on everywhere <THE KEY PHRASE IN THE ENTIRE STORY!!
How precisely is it going on everywhere, UNLESS it was planned and planted!
It cannot possibly be going on everywhere without someone doing it PURPOSELY! drug resistant strains of anything could pop up here and there, but NOT EVERYWHERE! It's an impossibility!
Yeah, well you have to keep in mind that it was being broadcast across the airwaves at least a year or two before H1N1 (Swine Flu) was actually “out there” getting people sick. But what is really interesting about all this is the fact that it was somehow PRECISELY identified as to EXACTLY WHERE the Swine Flu pandemic was going to originate from…which was apparently somewhere down in a Central Mexico pig farm. And lo and behold…almost on queue, Swine Flu H1N1 breaks out in Central Mexico just like the CDC predictors and their Corporate Owned and Controlled Main-Stream Media helped to predict it to be.
May you live in interesting times. (Chinese curse)
Perhaps if corporate man would just stop placing a value on EVERYTHING, then maybe our species could live long and prosper. Prosperity doesn’t necessarily mean you have to have tons of money, and several homes and lots of Big Kid toys like Lear Jets, Limosines, Private Islands and God knows what else. We can live quite comfortably without high technology. Small homes, tee-pees, yurts, living simply in order to simply live. Does the human race really NEED nuclear power plants? Answer: NO! Do we really NEED Dow Chemical and the Big Oil companies? Answer: NO!
Start growing your own food. I live in the Los Angeles area and my wife and I share a two bedroom apartment. We have a one meter square plot of rich soil where we grow carrots, lettus, tomatoes, green onions and some herbs. It supplements our grocery bill quite nicely.
These bacteria have been allowed to happen because Obama allowed it. Thanks, Obama.
You are blaming Obama for bacteria? Think you need to go back to school.
The real culprit here are people who use anti-bacteria sprays on surfaces that did not need it and people taking anti-biotics for no reason.
With prolonged exposing any living organism become resistant and even immune to substances that would have previously harmed it.
The real solution….wash you hand properly and observe polite hygiene around others (using a tissue to sneeze into)…oh yes and bleach lots and lots of bleach. but steam is good if you want to be environmentally friendly.
JUST AS PLANNED
Frog skin protein may help fight superbugs

We all wonder where these deadly superbugs and viruses come from?
Here is Dr. Tent and his findings on viruses that are created in labs and disturbed through vacationists and flue shots. I know it sounds crazy, until you start to understand,
Please take the time to watch, research and come to your own conclusion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aHRMjVHggI&feature=share&list=PLHajSV8HoNdQn5XkUG2szi97QDG3UGSzB
Ultra Violet light has always been a pathogen destroyer but what we are finding out is that the blue spectrum light is just as good at killing pathogens as ultra violet but without the side effects that come with ultra violet. A nice clean smooth depopulation of bacteria from blue light alone. A few years ago I built a place that has a water system that has an ultra violet purification step in it and to me its a no brainer to set up a system like dialysis where the blood is filtered but in this one the blood is radiated with cold blue light. In the water purification system a long clear ultraviolet bulb is hung inside a pipe that transports water to the home. Why couldnt this be used to purify blood in infections?
Yes, my uncle-in-law died two years ago after he went in for knee replacement surgery. He went home, said his stomach was feeling bad, his wife took him to the hospital, they said he needed a blood transfusion, and 36 hours later he was dead. Cause according to the hospital: Staff infection of a strain of e-coli. Spread most likely from his knee where the incision was very red, knee became swollen and staff said that that was common. They sent him home, but he was NOT on antibiotics. Knee got worse, he started feeling very ill and that was when he was taken back to the hospital…where he died less than two days later. Personally, I do not like being in hospitals whatsoever.
Colloidal Silver and other natural thing may work. Vitamin C inter-venous is another possible cure.
Morning Amy I agree with you 100 persent. Also stock up on tumeric and garlic spices. Both is natural antibiotics. Also onions were used to eliminate virusse in rooms. Cut the top of onion off and put it in a room. I rather smell like the local garlic dinner than suffer in a hospital where flesh eating bugs also have a go at you’re suffering body and then a poor educated person come to cut away the bugs and eventually you have no limbs or head (

Got bacteria or parasites? Blood zappers [i like orgone zappers the best] will kill any viruses, bacteria, parasties and detox you with no drugs no side effects.
