Link: CBC News: Doctors fear epidemic of superbug that hits the healthy.
Calgary hit by 15 to 30 superbug cases a month
The Calgary cluster of cases � the first significant outbreak in Canada of the new Community-acquired MRSA � began to appear nearly a year ago.
Forty cases had appeared by October. Most but not all of the infections have been in street people, intravenous-drug users or prisoners.
Now Calgary physicians are seeing 15 to 30 cases a month, sparking fear that the superbug is poised to explode.
"There are other pockets that are starting to surface in Canada now so in fact this could be the beginnings of what they’ve been seeing in the United States," Conly said.
