Should you EVER take someone else's antibiotics as prevention against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE infection?
Absolutely NOT. The reason super bugs like MSRA and the new carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE infection is so terrible is because people OVER-USE antibiotics! Never take anyone else's medicines. Always finish the antibiotic given to you for an infection. Never take antibiotics for a cold, flu or other viral infection. Never take antibiotics as "prevention"-- UNLESS a doctor instructs you to do so.
