America is losing the fight against antibiotic-resistant superbugs — and California has become a fertile breeding ground for these deadly pathogens, writes CEO Henry Skinner in today’s San Francisco Chronicle www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open... #AMR
California is becoming ground zero for America’s superbug crisis
OPINION: The rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs in California poses an enormous health threat — and we’re not doing nearly enough to address it, Henry Skinner writes.
