Comment on: Somerville reports shortage of flu vaccine - Boston.com

Comment on: Is staph infection a âtime capsuleâ from 1934? - Boston.com
I'm not following this. Since 1934 this patient never had any antibiotics? Or are these forming spores and persisting or something? I need some literature on this. more »
