Resistance is not so futile

I could probably post a new link about antibiotic resistance every day. Here's one I noticed today, a report by NPR that Chinese fish imports may contain fluoroquinolone antibiotics - a potentially serious problem since ciprofloxacin, currently often used a last resort, is a fluoroquinolone. You may remember ciprofloxacin, or Cipro, as the drug of choice during the 2001 anthrax attacks.

Some of you may have seen the press reports last week following a new survey of US hospitals that revealed much higher levels of antibiotic resistant bacteria than previously suspected.
