Staph a virulent strain of bacteria that resists many antibiotics appears to be killing more people annually than AIDS, emphysema or homicide, taking an estimated 19,000 lives in 2005, according to a study published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Excerpts: The best defense against the potentially deadly infection is common sense and cleanliness. “We need to reinvent hygiene for the 21st century,’’ said Dr. Charles Gerba, professor of environmental microbiology at the University of Arizona at Tucson. “You go to a grocery store, and hundreds of thousands of people have touched those surfaces every day. Microorganisms are evolving very rapidly.’’

That's crazy to think that it kills more people than AIDS, emphysema or homicide each year. I think the worst part about MRSA is that there is no antibiotic or medicine that can fight it. And the fact that over 30% of us carry a less dangerous strain of it is quite shocking.
