Two good reports published elsewhere

Some holiday reading:

• Mike the Mad Biologist, who often blogs about MRSA, has an analysis up about the varying degrees of attention that the Senate and House healthcare reform bills give antibiotic resistance and healthcare infections
• And Jacob Goldstein at the Wall Street Journal's WSJHealth blog describes and links to a program at UCLA Medical Center that uses volunteer undergraduate observers to make sure healthcare staff wash their hands. (h/t @ePatientDave)
