Yes, You Should Be Scared: Antibiotics May Have Just Stopped Working in India

Takepart reports:

At a time when experts around the world fear that a post-antibiotic era may be on the horizon, India is facing harsh criticism from the global community for its inability to tackle its superbug epidemic. More than 58,000 infants died last year from bacterial infections that could not be treated, according to The New York Times. Now, the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy, a Washington-based research center, is showing Indian hospitals how to track the trends of antibiotic resistance on their premises. It’s a breakthrough method that may eventually help hospitals implement strategies to tackle superbugs over the long term.

It would be nice if it didn't cost so much money to bring new drugs to the market.
