Hospital superbugs down by a third

The Telegraph reports that in the first three months of 2008 there were 10,586 cases of C diff in   patients aged 65 and over which is a 32% reduction on the same period in 2007. There were 966 cases of MRSA bloodstream infection in the first   three months of 2008 which is a drop of 11 per cent on the previous three   months. Figures for the whole year show a drop of 30 per cent in MRSA cases between   2006/7 and 2007/8. Let's hope this trend continues.
