Savita’s death may have been due to resistant bacteria strain

Concerning the unfortunate death of Savita Halappanavar, I fear that the main problem is being missed.

The Irish media reported last week that this young woman most likely died from sepicaemia due to an ESBL E. coli strain.

ESBL, or Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase positive gram negative bacteria, are now spreading rapidly within the Irish population.
