IDSA Releases Hit List of Dangerous Bugs MARCH 1, 2006--The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) today renewed its call for federal legislation to galvanize the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries into fighting the growing epidemic of antimicrobial resistance, releasing a “Hit List” of the six top-priority dangerous, drug-resistant microbes. These six “superbugs” are especially dangerous because few or no new drugs are being developed to treat them. The Hit List was drawn from an article in the March 1 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases. “These are life-threatening drug-resistant infections, and we’re seeing them every day,” says IDSA President Martin J. Blaser, MD. “What is worse is that our ammunition is running out and there are no reinforcements in sight.” Full Story: IDSA Releases Hit List of Dangerous Bugs Sponsor Message NEW RN TO MS in NURSING (Bridge Program) The Regis Univesity (AACN-CCNE) accredited RN to MS in Nursing program via The College Network allows busy nurses to take the fast track to earning their Masters in Nursing.
