Multi-resistant skin bacteria spreading in bacteria

In this article there has been a skin bacteria that has developed to different antibiotics. These different types of antibiotics can cause intractable infections . The infections seem to be spreading in the hospital in Sweden. The skin bacteria is Coagulase-negative staphylococci is bacteria that belongs to the protective bacteria flora on the skin. Staphylococcus epidermis is a common cause of care-related infections. Some of these infections are are sometimes difficult to treat. Some antibiotics and hygiene routines do not prevent these strains from getting a foothold in hospital. This is a cause of urinary tract infections that young and middle-aged women contract outside the hospital environment.

My opinion about this article is that should try harder to make more antibiotics that can cure this infection. The hospitals should try to infect it around so that these contagious infections wont keep spreading around. There needs to be something to stop this infection or else it will spread through out other countries.
