More on MRSA USA300

Filed Under Health, Sex | January 21st, 2008 

Last week, one of the big stories was about a strain of Staph infection, known as MRSA USA300 that researchers have identified as being multidrug-resistant.

I posted about that story here: Gay Men Vulnerable to Drug-resistant Strain of Staph Infection.

There were several things that concerned me about that story and the research as well as how it was being reported. That’s why I also included a link to the actual research report.

The Box Turtle Bulletin recently published an excellent in-depth article on this issue that is enlightening and helpful I think. Is MRSA The New Gay Plague? Not According To The Medical Literature.

Once again, thanks to Queer John for finding and posting this gem.
