Alternative to Antibiotics

[Cleoriff]

This is the sort of news I have been waiting a long time to hear......

Scientists have developed a highly effective alternative to antibiotics which can destroy bacteria in seconds

It is a well known fact that over use of antibiotics has led to growing problem of drug resistance.

Antibiotics, which for years have been used to combat disease, are fast becoming ineffective.

This is due to the advent of so called superbugs which have evolved due to the misuse of antibiotics

This new treatment, called Staphefekt has been developed using an enzyme....

More importantly trials have shown that this new drug IS effective in the treatment of MRSA....

It has already undergoing trials in Holland and Germany, as cream to treat skin infections

@I totally agree @Cleoriff .I'm not saying finding the cure for horrible diseases like cancer is not important but this is more urgent because lots of people loose they lives  and struggle to fight diseases because antibiotics are not effective anymore.

All the treatments for all the horrible diseases damage your immune system so your an easy pray for any kind of infection, so without effective medication like this it doesn't matter what treatment you have available to you if ur not going to live long enough to have it due to an infection?! Not to mention the horrible "bugs" already mentioned...you can get them when u have ur treatment in hospital...vicious circle...

This looks very exciting. I just hope funding doesn't prevent it being used in the UK...?

I don't think this country can afford NOT to get this implemented as soon as it becomes available Rich...

The consequences if we do not, are too awful to contemplate.

Infections totally out of control. New viruses taking over our immune system which are untreatable.
Operating theatres closing. High dependency units at risk, Special care baby units in major trouble..

The list is endless.....

We have worked for years to find a new antibiotic. This is even better...we have an alternative to antibiotics. So we should get no resistance to this one...

Phew...on that note...going to jump off my soapbox now...
