| Bacteria from the cut-price meat that we eat can remain in the gut for years and, warn scientists, breed superbugs untreatable in humans. |
|
| In recent years, some superbugs have even figured out how to resist vancomycin. |
|
| The emergence of such superbugs, which experts have long predicted, poses a grave threat. |
|
| Health service chiefs were accused today of allowing hospital superbugs to run out of control. |
|
| And scientists in the UK are looking for new ways to deal with antibiotic resistant hospital superbugs. |
|
| New research by a leading expert in the field has included deaths in which MRSA and other superbugs are a factor rather than the direct cause. |
|
| Patients are to be encouraged to check if hospital staff have washed their hands in a major drive to tackle life-threatening superbugs. |
|
| In mutant form, superbugs can wreak havoc in hospitals and rest homes, infecting open wounds and forcing the closure of wards and operating theatres. |
|
| Unfortunately, superbugs can also exchange survival secrets with other bacteria, even different species, allowing additional resistant organisms to grow. |
|
| However, infants born prematurely are at a greater risk from superbugs caused by the very antibiotics that are supposed to be reducing their risk of infection. |
|
| A FLORENCE Nightingale-type supernurse was appointed yesterday to lead the war on hospital superbugs. |
|
| We no longer are dealing with pathogens, we are dealing with Superbugs. |
