No this isn't MRSA....It isn't an organism...it isn't alive...how do you kill a plasmid?

The gene segment confers resistance to ALL but 2 highly toxic antibx.....(thus far, tigecycline and colistin). The gene segment is transferred from human to human the way any DNA is...think crime scene. It spreads from organism to organism...any kind of bacteria, fairly readily....from what they say....so it is the template for antibiotic resistance, to any germ we have already subdued....and can we say TB??? Ugh....

It is a gene....plasmid....way worse potential than MRSA..the deeper I dig on this one, the more upsetting this one is....of course, it looks like GSK has a patent number for some kind of compound that may slow the reproduction of resistant bacteria....I hopt this didn't crawl out of a petri dish somewhere. (Altho it is Darwinism at its best).

I hope we have not bitten too much fruit off the tree of knowledge. I have to go wash the chicken poo off my shoe.
