Many of these devastating new bacteria strains are strongly resistant to the most advanced antibiotics...not a good sign of things to come. A good friend of mine is currently fighting a serious MRSA infection inadvertently picked up while visiting a friend at a hospital in south Florida. This stuff is living and multiplying under his skin and is very resistant to the antibiotic treatments, even in an IV format.

My prayers and thoughts are with this young man who is in the fight of his life...at only 14 years old.
