It sounds like this could really help with MRSA. I don't know if many of you have cultured this bug, but I know it is very common within CF patients.

Yes, it could help w/ MRSA, however what strikes me as funny was that they said this drug could raise a billion dollars for the company that manufactured it, and went on to toot about financial statistics in the pharmaceutical world. Just more proof that it's all (well, not all) about the money for the pharmeceutical companies.
Thank you for sharing this, though. Hopefully it will be a wonderful thing for MRSA, no matter the amt of money the drug cos. make from it.
