In case you missed it, Maryn McKenna has been blogging up a storm on her Superbug Blog this week, which deals with all things antibiotic resistant.

 

Maryn is a contributing writer at CIDRAP, and the author of Beating Back The Devil, the inside story of the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service, and an upcoming book on MRSA.

 

This week Maryn has published a number of important stories on her site, and since this is a holiday week in the States, some of you may have missed them. 

 

 

Antibiotics - the EU pipeline is empty too
New pig strain in China
Pig MRSA" in the EU - long-awaited survey

If you aren’t visiting the Superbug Blog regularly, you are missing out on one of the best infectious disease resources on the Internet.
