E. coli ST131 is becoming carbapenem resistant. I suspect as CTX-M moves onto the chromosome and the F plasmid is lost facilitating acquisition of carbapenemase plasmids.

The swab checks for an HPV infection. No HPV = low risk of cervical cancer! Yes HPV = a doctor can monitor for pre-cancer cells and treat early if they appear. This can help a person avoid ever developing cervical cancer.
We're also already seeing the HPV vaccine lower pre-cancer rates. SO DANG COOL
