A Couple of Referrals On NDM-1

 


# 4806

 

 

Overnight Crof published his reflections on this past week’s big story about concerns over a growing type of antibiotic resistance known as NDM-1.  

 

As usual, Crof’s comments are insightful and well worth reading, so start your morning with:

 

The week of NDM-1

 

 

Yesterday Maryn McKenna gave a short (7 minute) radio interview on NPR’s morning news show, The Take Away. 

 

As usual, Maryn brings clarity to a confusing story. Listen to her interview at:

 

The 'Superbug': Imagining A World Without Effective Antibiotics

 

 

 

I’m working on a slightly different angle to the NDM-1 story this morning, which I hope to post later today or tomorrow.
