Skin bacteria spreads in hospitals!

Several different antibiotics have lead to care-related skin problems and infections. These infections are often difficult to treat. S. epidermidis has a special capacity to adapt to hospital environments, and that seems to be spreading throughout Swedish hospitals. Current antibiotics and hygiene routines don't seem to prevent the infections.

My opinion: Scientists need to attempt to come up with an antibiotic to help prevent the infection. I would really hate to be in the hospital and catch a skin infection. They should make a medicine to prevent from the catching S.Epidermidis infection. This also causes urinary tract infections, which is bad for human health. If scientists improve these antibiotics, it would help human health and also prevent infections like these.
