The latest article I read was covering effective strategies for prevention of gram negative infections. While the article itself covered a base of many infections, Pseudomonas is included. What struck me the most about this article was the information that there was little to no government tracking of these infections. There was no plan in place to get these gram negative infections under control, although Pseudomonas is growing to become a very prevalent nosocomial infection. The public is not as aware of the Pseudomonas infection as it is, of, say, MRSA, although gram negative bacilli are largely responsible for infection and mortality in serious ill and hospitalized patients.

It seems the focus needs to be broadened and the whole bacterial picture needs to be seen, there are many emerging resistant gram negatives, Pseudomonas among them, and they need to be battled, not looked over for MRSA.
