Referral - NDM-1: The early warnings

 

 


# 4817

 

 

Maryn McKenna - the author of Superbug: The Fatal Menace of MRSA  (which I reviewed here) - is a well known science journalist and blogger, and is the `go to’ person when it comes to issues surrounding MRSA, antibiotic overuse, and antibiotic resistance.

 

Maryn has already weighed in on the new NDM-1 resistance gene making headlines this past week with these two blogs.

 

NDM-1: Novel, global, complex and a serious threat...

More on NDM-1

 

Today, she’s back at it with a new entry called:

 

NDM-1: The early warnings

 

Maryn traces the history of this newly emerging health threat, which goes back several years.

 

Highly recommended.
