And scientists in the UK are looking for new ways to deal with antibiotic resistant hospital superbugs. |
Health service chiefs were accused today of allowing hospital superbugs to run out of control. |
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. |
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. |
Bacteria from the cut-price meat that we eat can remain in the gut for years and, warn scientists, breed superbugs untreatable in humans. |
