This may sounds like a B-movie on the Sci-Fi Channel, but the CA-MRSA scare is all too real - one of several health alerts this year that proved just how vulnerable we are despite all our scientific know-how and advances in medicine.

Invasive procedures, operations, plastic surgery, transplant surgery, hip or knee replacement, open heart surgery, bypass and minor surgical procedures will come to a grinding halt. The very technology we’ve created to help us live more comfortable and, yes, often healthier lives will turn around and bite us-hard..........

Introduction

Relatively a harmless bacteria that people carry on their nose and hands called as Staphylococcus has now suddenly becomes a dangerous predator "CA-MRSA", immune to antibiotics, chemical wash and antiseptic. This bacteria is threatening our very existence in this universe. 

The CDC noted, the proportion of potentially-deadly Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, has been growing among the percentage of all staph infections. In 1974, MRSA represented 2 percent of all staph infections; that number rose to 22 percent in 1995 and 63 percent in 2004 and is growing at an alarming rate now colonized in 53 million people worldwide. This bacteria is making a mockery of all advances in medicine and is threatening our existence......

Hospital infections will cause the next wave of class-action lawsuits, bigger than the litigation over asbestos. Hospitals being sued are saying that their infection rates are within national norms. But for most infections, the only acceptable rate is zero.

Who can we blame but our-self, not hospitals, nor the doctors but us for allowing this to happen ..................

CA-MRSA

Health authorities & politicians are continuing to treat MRSA as purely a hospital problem and trying to assuage public opinion. They are spending billions on a fighting a battle they will never win. CA-MRSA PVL Strain is a killer bug infecting healthy adults and children in one to two days.

A major concern is that MRSA can be carried by asymptomatic patients. Worldwide, it is estimated that up to 53 million people are asymptomatic carriers of MRSA. Of these it is estimated that 2.5 million reside in the United States. Approximately 1% of the U.S. population is colonized with MRSA. Both infected and colonized patients contaminate their environment with the same relative frequency.

CA-MRSA skin infections: Coming to a patient near you.

Despite advice from doctors, Government in UK continue with their NHS reforms and establishing polyclinics. We think this will be the future "Bug Chambers" doomed to wipe off a generation. We must stop them spreading by contact in our community. Soon we may not have doctors and nurses nor the NHS to help us when the epidemic hits us really hard .............

Antibiotics

Antibiotics paved the way for doctors to develop new technologies (IVF, plastic surgery, hip replacement, minimally invasive surgery, stents, total parentral nutrition's, transplant surgery and cardiac surgery).

Eighty percent  (80%) of all surgical-site infections that occur after face lifts are caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to a study conducted by researchers from the Lennox Hill-Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital and published in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery.

We are heading towards "Pre-Antibiotic era". This is because the bacteria have now developed resistance not only to the very antibiotic invented by chance in 1940s but others.

These antibiotics have been prescribed to animals, plants and poultry making them useless to kill bacteria that infect us all. Number pharmaceutical companies, there were active decisions taken that "Antibiotic research was not going to be profitable enough to meet their obligation to shareholders". Investing in R&D was stopped in 1970 and so now its too late and they may never find a new treatment, so please be prepared..........

Prevention

Practical procedures performed using plastic disposable products in hospitals like inserting catheters, intravenous cannula, endotracheal tubes, urinary catheters, dialysis, naso-gastric tubes, colostomy & long lines create a safe entry point for these bacteria to enter your blood circulation.

Sterile gloves must be used for appropriate aseptic technique; however, the CDC recommends the use of a new pair of disposable non-sterile gloves and a no-touch technique during the insertion of peripheral venous cannula or during blood test. Use of gloves as a standard precaution is for the prevention of exposure to blood borne pathogens to healthcare workers. This does not prevent patients getting infection. We advice you to please use sterile glove in the interest of patients.

These plastic contaminated devices with bacteria are placed in yellow sharp containers for weeks before incinerating. These gives partially treated bacteria to multiply and spread in the clinics or hospitals.

Hospitals in developing nations dispose these contaminated waste in waste disposable site often near health centres and hospitals. Global warming makes ideal situation for these bacteria to multiply and spread in the community.....

Pandemic

During influenza pandemic of 1918 more people died due to secondary Staphylococcus aureus than the World War I & II. The estimated potential worldwide death toll ranges from 7.4 million to 180 million to 360 million, extrapolating 1918’s deaths to today’s population.

Given global air travel, the virus & bacteria could spread swiftly, possibly reaching all continents in three months, the WHO asserts. The federal government fears that 9 million Americans may become sick as 2.5 million Americans are now colonized in USA.

Superbacteria are created when pathogenic germs mutate as a result of abuse of antibiotics. The research team analyzed 135 varieties of MRSA genes collected from 22 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, discovering that MRSA in Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong originated in Japan.

In the process of the research, we found that the MRSA issue caused by the abuse of antibiotics is never a matter of a single country, so we need international cooperation to handle the issue of antibiotic abuse.

We are heading towards a "pre-antibiotic era" with no effective treatment and by policies that focus only on disease-control measures and restricting antibiotic use. The Royal Society of Medicine (UK) warns............

Antibiotics are often given by doctors for coughs, colds and flu (viral infections). Very high temperature does not mean to say you are very ill. Most bacterial infections produce mild temperature (hot & cold). Prescribing an antibiotic for viral infections will make MRSA get stronger.......

MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant form of the common "staph" infection, has already become the leading organism responsible for skin, soft tissue, and surgical-site infections in the United States in general. Due to its higher virulence and resistance to the most common first-line antibiotics, MRSA kills three times as many patients as more conventional S. aureus infections.
