MRSA found in UK milk.

[kryonlight]

A new strain of MRSA has been found in British milk, indicating that the superbug is spreading through the livestock population and poses a growing threat to human health.

The new strain, MRSA ST398, has been identified in seven samples of bulk milk from five different farms in England.

The discovery, from tests on 1,500 samples, indicates that antibiotic-resistant organisms are gaining an increasing hold in the dairy industry.

Tuan,

Don't play play. MRSA is prevalent in hospitals. If possible, don't stay too long. Sekali no sick, also become sick !
