Half Of The Most Infectious Bacteria Strain In The United States Will Be Resistant To Antibiotics Just Over A Year From Now.

A major analysis in eight widely scattered U.S. states found the number of this bacteria strain that's resistant to penicillin rose from 21 to 24 per cent in the middle to late 1990s. The number resistant to erythromycin rose from 10.6 to 20 per cent.

"We predict that by 1 July, 2004, 41 per cent of pneumococci (these bacteria) ... will be dually resistant" to both drugs, the study authors from all over the U.S. write.
