Outbreak of Multiresistant A. baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Combine this article with the previous one and we can begin to see why some patients never leave the hospital. Patients enter there immuno compromised in the first place, are given nutritionally devoid (and in some cases harmful) food and on top of all of this are exposed to some strong bugs. Remember that a healthy immune system, NOT antibiotics, does not care about “multiresistant” bugs. The human immune system, when optimally functioning, can take care of these invaders quite readily. The bottom line? We need to support the immune systems of patients at risk; not destroy it with poor food and nutritional deficiencies.
