Mutant strain of E.coli found in baby unit!

A hospital is battling an outbreak of a rare mutant killer superbug on it's premature baby unit. The ward has been shut down while doctors try to eradicate the potentially lethal ESBL E.coli bacteria.
It was found breeding on the skin of newborns and could cause fatal blood poisoning if it enters the their bodies.
The esbl strain of E.coli is far more dangerous thN the type that causes food poisoning.
It has mutated to be extremely aggressive and resistant to antibiotics.
Experts think It entered the uk on imported chickens.
Bosses at the queen Elizabeth hospital in south east London has stopped taking new admissions..
These diseases seem to be getting stronger with every strain, and more resistant to drugs..
Will there one day be a disease that just wipes out most of our populations around the world? Are some of these diseases manufactured in labs and escape or are released into society?

Could you please provide a source, it would be very helpful and much appreciated.
anyhow star and flag.

Alex Jones talk about this disease from time to time. Oh, looks like he's right again.

The article linked is a bit old.

Article Date: 25 Sep 2007

Can you point me in the right direction to this I dont listen to alex jones very much but I'd be interested into what he had to say about this matter. thanks in advance

I dont think this one was constructed mainly because its in a hospital. Hospitals are litterly breeding grounds for superbugs.
It wouldnt suprise me if this was just a new strain of ebola because many people dont take their antibiotics properly and this results in immunity.
Its pretty sad though, poor little kiddies

LAWSUITS PEOPLE, LAWSUITS!!!!!!!

Anyone whom is effected by this sort of thing, GET A LAWYER and get compensated.

Life is MISERABLE enough right now for most common folk families. We most defintely do not need ANY MORE FREAKIN' PROBLEMS in life to deal with.

How much more BAD news can we handle every second of every day any more???

UN--FLIPPEN--BELEIVABLE.
