MRSA Notes

Here is a group after my own heart, promoting the educated use of antibiotics. Included in their web site, Do Bugs Need Drugs? is information for healthcare professionals, us regular folks, children, daycares and assisted living facilities. Do Bugs Need Drugs? promotes 3 things that everyone needs to know:

1. Handwashing is the best way to stop the spread of infections.
2. Not all bugs are created equal. Both bacteria and viruses cause respiratory tract infections. Antibiotics work against bacterial infections but not against viral infections such as colds and flu.
3. Antibiotic resistance is a problem. Use antibiotics wisely to prevent bacteria from becoming resistant to antibiotics.

It is always great to hear others backing me up here. You might be interested in an article I wrote here on antibiotic resistance as well.
