New superbugs spreading from South Asia: study - Yahoo! News
LONDON (AFP) – "Health tourists" flocking to south Asia have carried a new class of antibiotic-resistant superbugs to Britain, researchers reported Wednesday, warning that the bacteria could spread worldwide.
"Health tourists" are people who go out of the country for health care, primarily because it's cheaper than staying here.
(And as you may recall from a previous note on this blog, antibiotic research in the U. S. lags. Not enough profit in it, says Pharma.)
