Is there a "superbug" worse than swine flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Swine flu can cause illness, but a major complication can be bacterial infection of the lungs with a resiatant staph, we call mrsa. Unrelated to swine flu , certain other highly resistant bacteria can be very serious especially, if no antibiotics are available to treat the bacteria.
