My last job was working the VA in Roseburg, OR, and we had a few with MRSA. Maybe two (that were diagnosed, at least) in the eight years I worked there.<br /><br />By the same token, when I worked in Southern Georgia, Brunswick had a large pool of drug-resistant tuberculosis, many of whom came up from Haiti and other parts of the Caribbean. Haiti, IIRC, also holds the biggest reservoir of HIV int the Northern Hemisphere.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-50774273820118466312017-11-17T20:52:05.441-08:002017-11-17T20:52:05.441-08:00Half of our patients test positive for MRSA of the...Half of our patients test positive for MRSA of the nares.

This is so common that we have staph infections so resistant - like MRSA - Methicillin Resistant Staphlococcus Aureus - to antibiotics that there are only a few antibiotics left that still (at least for now) work to kill the infection. (Vancomycin and clindamycin, and some forms are still susceptible to the tetracyclines, including doxycycline).Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-38746864526158131412017-11-16T13:53:29.235-08:002017-11-16T13:53:29.235-08:00There is no way to work that and have it make any ...There is no way to work that and have it make any actual sense. <br />It's simply crap, based on stupidity and false information.<br />Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-35926559598211870412017-11-15T15:23:41.207-08:002017-11-15T15:23:41.207-08:00Miss Hognose.
