Bacteria are quickly growing resistant to the antibiotics we have — but our model for making new drugs is broken. It’s time for a fresh approach.
c) Preventing Lethal Hospital Outbreaks of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
and I quote:
In 2011, a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae resistant to multiple antibiotics, including carbapenems, was identified in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).1 This organism has since colonized at least 19 patients and may have caused seven deaths among patients with severe coexisting conditions. Although the spread of the organism was traced through clinical epidemiologic investigation and whole-genome sequencing, it was curtailed by “rigorous infection-control procedures.” What does this episode tell us about how to mitigate the risk of future outbreaks?
d)And you think 'they/we' would have learned by now?
