Because indiscriminate use of antibiotics left the field wide open for a strain the antibiotics can't touch. It's been rampant across the US for some time, according to a CBC report from a month or so back. Given our porous borders and many links, it's inevitable that infections we don't take seriously will soon be continent-wide. Then world-wide.

Wash up.

Let me get this straight.........You are so short sighted that you are blaming the US for this????

What a puts
 
Putz

the word is PUTZ.....puts is a different word. I agree with you.
Most antibiotics are used,, not by humans, but in veterinary feed to keep the animals healthier.

Where do you get "blaming the US" from my post? Because the same in-hospital infection was reported around the US a month ago? Because people travel between our countries (and get sick and go to hospital?) You wanna watch the paranoia papa.If there's blame to be assigned it should go to the prescribers and consumers of all those antibiotics for every minor sniffle and sore. But if that's a shoe that you somehow think fits your country …
 
Shoot I hope they contain this and keep it in Toronto, better yet get it out of this area all together. Why are they not saying what type of outbreak it is? hmmmmmmm Guess they do not believe that the public has the right to know. Well, I for one wish to know the liklihood of it getting out and into other hospitals or into the general public and is everyone at risk etc... Well, for now I guess I should be happy I am in Mississauga and will not be dealing with that hospital.

Sorry to say oldjones but S. aureus has been around a LONG time and antibiotics work just fine on it. NOTHING in this case says anything about being antibiotic resistant. So you are taking some only a little!) knowledge about hospital borne infections, mixing up a few (staph and C difficile) and adding in a dash of chicken farmers corporate greed and posting it on -of all places- the last bation of truth and acuracy:

The internet!

The problem is that it hides places and keeps coming back.

THIS NEWS REPORT AND OTHERS says it's MRSA—the R is for resistant the M for a leading antibiotic—pardon me if I get my news from more sources than papa. And for responding to your hollering in kind. Since you've introduced C.difficile to the discussion; it's another example of an infectious agent that's been around for a long time (the one thing you got right) that lax practices have allowed to become a severe problem. And where did your "chicken farmers" come from anyway?

Assuming smerfdaddy's post wasn't a "look at the troubles of socialized medicine" dig, but an opening for general discussion, I made a historical point—his own source mentions earlier US outbreaks—the same one you did. Of course it's clear my assumption was as mistaken as your reading of the thread.

So we can assume you posted a similar WAKE THE FRIG UP on the LA version of TERB back in December, when they had an outbreak there [your source]? I'm sure you didn't snooze through it, and we're so glad for your wake-ups while we work on our version; howya doin' on yours?

One of the problems with people and morally superior attitudes is the morally corrupt society they choose to live in.

And it was from your deep sense of humility that you rushed to post about our troubles, not your own. What a noble soul you are.

Now you're not suggesting that those superior, but equally dirty hospitals and healthcare workers you have on your side of the border were hushing anything up when you say "Just not a news story." are you?

ey pal if you trust newspaper salesmen-I mean reporters- to get the story right you deserve to have the spin you put on it yourself.

BTw, the chicken farmer reference is about the use of antibiotics in the food industry.

OK newspapers lie, and what source backs up your statement? The direct word of the Almighty? She who must also have told you I brought your chicken farmers into the thread, because it's sure nowhere in the posts.

Since you're determined to introduce them, you might as well 'explain' their supposed relevance to the topic. But as it's a) a well-known issue and b) has incredibly little to do with MRSA and handwashing in a Toronto neonatal ward, on second thought, please don't bother.
