Can an Antibiotic open the door to sickness and/or death during the Cold & Flu Season?

For the past 2 decades a debate has arisen over the necessity for Doctors to write prescriptions for antibiotics and hand them out to their patients as if they were lollipops being handed to a child. What researchers at the CDC and other facilities have long suspected has been confirmed, that being that the overuse of antibiotic’s can make one’s immune system a prime target for resistant forms of bacteria. Although it doesn’t seem likely that resistant forms of bacteria should become a major cause for concern, researchers at the CDC and other research institutes have become concerned over the spread of the Clostridium difficile bacterium (aka C-diff) in Hospitals and Nursing Homes, and it ‘s role in the deaths of over 100 patients. If doctors and hospitals do not take extra precautions and monitor the spread of this deadly spore-forming bacterium that cannot be destroyed with ordinary household cleaners, the deaths that result may grow as fast as the rate of its constant mutation.
