Excerpt:

A new "ResistanceMap" from the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP) shows major disparities in antibiotic prescribed rates and growing resistance to once-treatable diseases like urinary tract infections. The research was additionally mostly moneyed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Researchers at the center assessed data collected in between 1999 and 2010 and discovered total antibiotic use has dropped about 17 percent. However for homeowners of the Appalachian and Gulf Coast states use is the greatest in the nation, where homeowners take about twice as many antibiotics usually per capita as people who stay in Western states. Are antibiotics overprescribed to senior in the South? WHO: Antibiotic overuse so prevalent scraped knee could be fatal Sinus infections not cured with antibiotics, study recommends In 2010, the five states with the greatest rates of antibiotic use in the U.S. were Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana.

"People continue to consume antibiotics at much higher rates in certain parts of the country, and the problem appears to be getting worse."
-0.195231	"Without proper antibiotic treatment, UTIs can turn into bloodstream infections, which are much more serious and can be life-threatening," said Laxminarayan.
-0.193038	"Without proper antibiotic treatment, UTIs can turn into bloodstream infections, which are much more serious and can be life-threatening," said Laxminarayan. "These findings are especially disturbing because there are few new antibiotics to replace the ones that are becoming less effective."

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
