The problem of drug-resistant bacteria may be worse than it seems, because
many labs in the US do not look for two important resistant pathogens. Forty-one
per cent of labs surveyed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in
Atlanta did not routinely test for drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus
aureus. A startling 68 per cent didn’t test enterobacteria for resistance
to penicillin-like drugs.
