Eco-Rx, producer of proprietary air purification products, commented
upon the editorial in the New York Times on November 20, 2007 entitled
"Another Very Scary Germ." The editorial concludes that, "The
discovery that MRSA is more prevalent than anyone thought reinforces the need
for an aggressive, multi pronged approach to curb the growing number of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria." The conclusion reached in the October 17, 2007 issue of the
Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) stated, "Invasive MRSA
infection affects certain populations disproportionately. It is a major public
health problem primarily related to health care but no longer confined to
intensive care units, acute care hospitals, or any health care institution."
