Dear Friends,

This is serious news and very puzzling too. Antibiotics are encouraging a
harmful bacteria to flourish. This is comprehensible. But this bacteria is also
being found on people who are not on antibiotics. This is puzzling. What is
happening?

Sometime back I had forwarded an article which informed that while doctors
prescribe antibiotics to patients with gay abandon, they are wary of giving it
to their own kith and kin. Analyse that.

Read the article in the link provided please. This is an AP feature and
appears in NBC news.

Regards,
Jagannath.

in patients not taking such drugs, according to a report published Thursday in a
federal health journal.
