Mutants In The News — Contagion Edition

Wired reported this last week, but I wanted further confirmation before posting...


...and now the BBC has chimed in.

For the first time, docs in India are reporting a strain of tuberculosis completely resistant to antibiotics.

Not "partially resistant", not "multi-drug resistant"...but "totally drug resistant" and "incurable".



AIEEEEEEEEEEE.
