Demand For Protein, Confinement Agriculture, Use Of Antibiotics Increase Antibiotic Resistance in China And Elsewhere
Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Surround Big Swine Farms--In China As Well As U.S. by Maryn Mckenna. Wired. February 12, 2013.
This article highlights a report on Chinese swine production and the role of antibiotics to promote efficiency and animal growth. Significant antibiotic resistance was found around the swine farms. A key sentence from the report follows: The diverse set of resistance genes detected potentially confer resistance to all major classes of antibiotics, including antibiotics critically important for human health.

In A Post-Antibiotic Era New Infection Controls Needed
When Hospitals Become Killers by Betsey McCaughey. Opinion--The Wall Street Journal. January 30, 2013.
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella, CRK, is emerging as a major threat to public health and hospitals. This infection has spread even with strict implementation of CDC infection-control precautions. Powerful antibiotics are increasingly proving ineffective to deal with CRK. New standards to deal with CRK have been implemented in an infection at an NIH facility and include screening all patients for CRK and more rigorous cleaning (double cleaning with bleach + a hydrogen peroxide sprayer as well as reporting requirements for CRK.

Novel Approaches to Antibiotic Resistance Urged
Researcher Calls For New Understanding Of Antibiotic Resistance and Disease To End Growing Scourge of 'Superbugs" Medical News Today. January 25, 2013.
The toll of antibiotic-resistance microbes is impressive: 2 million infected and 100,000 Americans killed at year. Among the methods recommended is attacking the microbe while at the same time not driving resistance, blocking the microbes access to resources with directly attacking it, and moderating the inflammatory response to the microbe.
