[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH had a case where a 3-year-old kept coming in with strep. He kept prescribing antibiotics until he said they’d need to admit him because they just weren’t working. The mother then casually mentioned she’d never given him the antibiotic because she didn’t want him to get resistant to it.

Last night, 60 Minutes ran a story about the worldwide health crisis of "superbugs" becoming resistant to antibiotics. Why? Because doctors are over-prescribing anti-biotics, which are truly needed in only one-third of medical cases.

Not about strep, they don't. And given the example you are using, neither do you.

This is exactly the problem -- you don't know what you don't know, and you are comfortable with proclaiming things that you really don't understand, instead of getting accurate information.

There is quite literally no resistance to penicillin -- worldwide -- for Group A strep bacteria (the kind responsible for the kind of strep throat that needs to be treated). It is treated to prevent the possibility of lifelong heart valve damage.[/quote]
