Steno Bacterium Sequenced
Friday May 9, 2008
Scientists from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute have genetically sequenced the Steno bacterium.
Steno is a quickly emerging hospital superbug that is extremely drug resistant.
There are no known drugs capable of combating these microorganisms.
Researchers hope that this genome sequence can give clues as to how Steno resists antibiotics. With that information, possible ways of combating these germs can be developed.

This is great. I like this is very informative!!!
World without a science like a steno without a drug.
Well I have experienced this new strain of bacteria and it has been a dreadful one, many have gotten sick because of this.
