TWEST,

<<Antibiotic resistance as it applies to influenza viruses is not a concept. Antibiotics are used against bacteria not viruses therefore the notion that the influenza virus is becomming resistant to antibiotics is nonsensical and misleading.>>

I think you misunderstood the point. the last decade has seen an explosion in antibiotic-resistance bacteria, one of the causes being overprescription of antibiotics. the flu test can definately rule out the need for antibiotics, so fewer scripts will be written.

best,
kim
