by Kate Wong, ScientificAmerican.com

The day-care centers that millions of parents
entrust their children to harbor a hidden danger. According to
research presented this weekend at a conference organized by the American
Society for Microbiology, such facilities foster the development and
transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Day Care Centers Incubate And Spread
Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Source: American
Society For Microbiology
19-Sep-00 |
Sampling Streptococcus pneumoniae ("strep"
bacteria) from day care attendees, Dr. Ron Dagan of Ben-Gurion University in
Beer-Sheva, Israel, and colleagues found that antibiotic treatment rapidly
induced resistant-antibiotic traits among these bacteria in the noses and
throats of children in the day care environment.
"Day care centers act as microenvironments that facilitate and promote
selection, spread and transmission of antibiotic-resistant respiratory tract
organisms in the community... ," Dagan said.
Moreover, the researchers detected the same
resistant S. pneumoniae strains in siblings of attendees, suggesting that
(resistant bacteria) could easily spread beyond the confines of the center.
Day care centers are ideal environments for the development of such
(resistant bacteria) because they are associated with a high rate of
respiratory infections that leads to a high rate of antibiotic use, he said.

Pay for your own day care by
Michelle Malkin, www.jewishworldreview.com ,5-Oct-00 |
Taxpayer-funded daycare-don't you just
cringe when do-gooders call it "free"?-- encourages drive-through, drop-off
parenting. Subsidizing this phenomenon cheats children, undermines
family responsibilities, and breeds resentment among childless workers
who are forced to pay for costly social services...If moms and dads aren't
willing to make…sacrifices for their children, why should anyone else?
