Antibiotic Resistant Staph Antibiotic Discovered 493
edward.virtually@pob writes "CNN is reporting that a team of scientists has discovered an extremely effective killer of the antibiotic resistant form of staph infection occuring naturally in rock pools. Unfortunately, despite the obvious cheap potential availability of this cure, do not expect it to be cheaply available. The employer of the scientists, AquaPharm Bio-Discovery Limited, the story notes 'is keeping the identity of its MRSA-killing bacteria a closely guarded secret, and taken out patents on how they can be cultivated and used.' Oh well."

Yeah, the way that they just happened to have the team of scientists playing team building games with sandcastles nearby when that MRSA infected hobo with the rotting leg tripped into the rock-pool and then leaped out cured - hell! What a stroke of luck!
Just think, the company might have had to spend millions on computers and lab equipment if that hadn't happened.
Sorry, just had lunch and my brain is stuck on 'sarcastic'.

For many years, alcohol has been recognized as an excellent disinfectant. It kills germs and viruses without exception. I strongly recommend taking in large quantities of Guinness Stout [guinness.ie] or if you live in Manitoba, Canada; Fort Garry Dark Ale [fortgarry.com].
You're be helping the economy and keeping yourself safe from bioterror attack.

Yeah, right next to the sand that my CPU is made out of. I think CPUs should be free too.
