Antibiotic Resistance: What is being done?

Abstract

Methicillin Resistant Staphlycoccus Aureus is one of the most deadly infections you can have. Ironically MRSA was not prevalent until a few decades ago, and is so deadly because there are little effective ways to combat it. Today there are few antibiotics are being developed and even fewer are being implemented to combat the number of infections in the world, even though they are prevalent everywhere. Some countries, like Norway, however are doing their best to reduce the amount of infections by using simple measures to successfully decrease the prevalence of MRSA infections. This leads to the question of “What are we doing to combat antibiotic resistance here in America?”.
