Science Channels: Drug-Resistant Superbugs, Infectious Diseases, Story Ideas: Science, Food/Water Safety Keywords: E. Coli, Escherichia Coli, Eugenol	Extracts of Common Spices May Prevent the Production of E. coli O157 Toxin Researchers found that a common kitchen spice contains an active component that reduces the deadliness of the Escherichia coli O157 toxin, according to a new study in the Journal of Food Science, published by the Institute of Food Technologists. E. coli O157 toxins cause abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea, acute renal failure and gastrointestinal bleeding. View	Released: 9/23/2009 4:25 PM EDT Institute of Food Technologists (IFT)

Medicine Channels: Story Ideas: Medicine, Drug-Resistant Superbugs Keywords: Antibiotic, Prescriptions, Vanderbilt, Prescription Overuse	Study Finds Efforts to Curb Antibiotic Usage in Ambulatory Settings Are Successful Researchers with Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Department of Preventive Medicine have completed a large epidemiologic study to assess United States usage trends for antibiotic prescriptions. The study, which examined antibiotic prescription data from 1995 through 2006 to assess whether initiatives that began in the mid-1990s to curb antibiotic use have had a positive impact on prescribing, found the efforts to curb unnecessary prescriptions effective.

Medicine Channels: Drug-Resistant Superbugs Keywords: MRSA, Hospital Patients, Home Health	MRSA May Accompany Hospital Patients Into Home Health Settings Infection with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) appears relatively common among patients discharged from the hospital into home health care, according to a report in the August 10/24 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. In addition, about one-fifth of infected patients may transmit the organism to other people in their households.

Medicine Channels: Drug-Resistant Superbugs Keywords: Tuberculosis, Drug Resistance	Misuse of Common Antibiotic is Creating Resistant TB Use of a common antibiotic may be undercutting its utility as a first-line defense against drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). Fluoroquinolones are the most commonly prescribed class of antibiotics in the U.S. and are used to fight a number of different infections such as sinusitis and pneumonia. They are also an effective first line of defense against TB infections that show drug resistance. New research shows, however, that widespread general use of fluoroquinolones may be creating a strain of fluoroquinolone-resistant TB.
