RE: Headwinds in Health: Antibiotic Resistance...What you should know and how your "poop" could help us all....
The Dutch has quite a few different practices with regard to medicine, MRSA and VRSA are treated quite seriously, in some cases complete isolation....VRSA depending on the region, becomes a governmental issue...I think the USA probably one of the few countries that readily prescribes antibiotics but there are debates pointing out that, that practice actually contributes to the problem... it is serious problem worldwide what I find interesting, fecal transplant (poop) is turning out to be the most effective treatment... so you never know, if you got healthy poop, you can actually sell it to the poop bank (lol) but effectiveness is over 90% so it should be taken serious
Very true my friend! Its a dramatic development, I remember just before I left Holland we had a full closure of our ICU 29 beds, because of an MRSA outbreak. Imagine what kind of consequences that would have for sick people, now it was mostly postponing surgeries (also no joke actually)
But uhhh (get it butt, kadungsjjjjj), a poopbank! Yeah I believe in the potential in that. Perfect source to harvest good and bad bacteria from. I can already see the trucks going. 'important transport, shit on board'
interesting enough, was the case a hospital acquired MRSA or a community acquired MRSA, i know its a requirement for all healthcare workers to get screen
Well, I used to live in an area with a lot of Pig-farms and on those farms MRSA also is actively there. So I dont know if those infections would be community aquired then? I think most of the infections there are hospital aquired to be honest
Oh, hopefully its the community acquired MRSA, because the hospital acquired MRSA could be tricky to treat...the community acquired MRSA sometimes respond to clindamycin or doxycycline but that never guaranteed
