Reports are increasing across Europe of patients with infections that are nearly impossible to treat.
An estimated 25,000 people die each year in the European Union from antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Countries with the highest rates of resistant infections, such as Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria, also tended to be the ones with the highest use of antibiotics.
World Health Organisation scientists warned two years ago that overuse of antibiotics risked returning the world to a pre-antibiotic era in which infections did not respond to treatment. The warnings have been ignored.

Well there's a drug or vaccine for about anything you can think of these days.
Gone are the days when you actually "caught" something and just stayed home and let it go through your system.
Not to downplay the story, but I've been hearing about antibiotic resistant illnesses since I was a kid.
