Deadly bacteria that kills up to 50% of patients now ENDEMIC to US gulf coast,, BP?????

I bet Mar-a-Lardo is ground zero.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the Chinese monkey lab out in the woods just north west of Citrus County in Florida? Oh, you hadn’t heard about that? Yup, two local good ole boys from Citrus county sold some forest land they owned to the Chinese, and they built a bio-lab thats experimenting on monkey’s! You cannot make this up, we live in clown-world! This place is not far from the Gulf coast too!

But shithole Texas, Louisiana Alabama Georgia and Florida are

Good riddance

Cool story bro, but utter BS....

Try harder...

Didn't they release "oil eating" genetically modified organisms into the Gulf after the big oil spill...the BP oil disaster?

Deadly bacteria that kills up to 50% of patients now ENDEMIC to US gulf coast, CDC expert says - just a year after it was first detected in the country

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made the warning
Experts said the bacteria was now endemic to the 1,600-mile US gulf coast



A deadly bacteria that kills up to 50 percent of people it infects has now been listed as endemic along the US gulf coast.

What was the name of the creature in the leak. Synthea?

uh oh looks like you look like the jerkoff now jerkoff

It's name was Cynthia... Some say it eats flesh now!

How many does it infect, of those who come in contact with it? Also, does it mean that doctors refusing the antibiotics to a patient with similar symptoms can be sued for malpractice and stripped of license?

A deadly bacteria that kills up to 50 percent of people it infects has now been listed as endemic along the US gulf coast.

Dr Julia Petras, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who made the warning, said Burkholderia pseudomallei was now likely lurking in soil and stagnant water across the 1,600 miles from Texas to Florida.

People infected with the bacteria suffer melioidosis, a severe condition that can trigger pneumonia and sepsis and can be fatal.

Doctors are now on alert for the disease, which can initially be misdiagnosed as another infection.

The CDC declaration comes less than a year after it was detected in the US for the first time in soil from the Mississippi coast.

Dr Petras said: 'It's estimated that there's probably 160,000 cases a year around the world and 80,000 deaths.

'This is one of those diseases that is also called the great mimicker because it can look like a lot of different things.

'It's greatly under-reported and under-diagnosed and under-recognized — we often like to say that it's been the neglected tropical disease.'

The bacteria — also known as B. psuedomallei — is native to tropical areas in South East Asia and northern Australia.

But the CDC is now warning it has been identified in the gulf states: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

In these areas, the agency warns it may be lurking in topsoil or muddy fresh or brackish water.

People can become infected after coming into contact with the water or soil — including through open wounds — or ingesting it.

It is unclear how the pathogen arrived in the United States, although this may have traveled by infected travelers.

Well… which is it? Ten or fifty percent?


Idiots

great.

Spent a week in Destin recently.

What Is a Superbug?
Every year, over two million people in the U.S. get infections that are resistant to some types of antibiotics. On the ‘Consumer 101‘ TV show, Consumer Reports’ expert Lauren Friedman explains what you need to know about these superbug infections.

The bacteria in question is called “carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae,” or CRE for short, and can cause serious infections throughout the body, including in the lungs, bladder, bloodstream, and skin.

The infections, which mostly occur in medical facilities, are often hard to treat—or are even untreatable—because the bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics.

Just last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that a Nevada woman in her 70s had died after being infected with a “nightmare bacteria” (a type of CRE) resistant to all antibiotics.

Then yesterday, the New England Journal of Medicine published findings from research conducted in South Africa showing that a strain of tuberculosis immune to most antibiotics spreads more easily than previously thought. That’s concerning because the antibiotic-resistant form of tuberculosis—which is rare in the U.S.—though deadly, was not previously considered highly contagious.

Although the deadly strain of tuberculosis has not yet made it to the U.S., the spread of the disease in South Africa is an important reminder that we need to take precautions to contain CRE now, before it too mutates to become more contagious.

Most people who become infected with CRE encounter the bug in hospitals or long-term-care facilities, says Lisa McGiffert, director of Consumer Reports’ Safe Patient Project.

“Our healthcare facilities are our first—and possibly our only—line of defense,” says McGiffert. “This research underscores how critically important it is for them to take concrete steps now to contain these deadly superbugs before they spread more widely.”

Silver has been associated with human medicine and healthcare for over two millennia. The ‘father of modern medicine,’ Hippocrates, wrote using silver to improve wound care around 400 BC. During the intervening years, silver has featured in a wide range of writings, most of which highlight its capabilities, particularly limiting inflammation and infection. The interest in silver in medicine was probably spurred by long held knowledge that silver kept many perishable items fresh for more extended periods – for example, silver coins were often dropped into barrels of water and milk on long journeys to slow their degradation. While it was not understood at the time, silver ions are formed under these conditions, which interrupt many microbial processes associated with spoilage. It is this relatively simple piece of science that ultimately drove the medical community’s interest in silver.

Idiots

They are saying that the bacteria in question lives on Gulf seaweed.

Take it for what it's worth.

Here's video evidence that you shouldn't be afraid of swimming in the Gulf. There's no killer bacteria in this water!
