ALDA Pharmaceuticals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:APH)(OTCQB:APCSF) ("ALDA" or "the
Company") is monitoring reports of new "Superbugs" that are highly resistant to
nearly all antibiotics, including penicillin-like antibiotics that possess broad
spectrum antibacterial properties and are typically used as a last resort. The
new strains of antibiotic-resistant E. coli and Klebsiella were created when
genetic material that codes for an antibiotic-digesting enzyme was incorporated
from other species. Such genetic "swapping" is common among bacteria and is a
major cause of antibiotic resistance. Although primarily observed in Pakistan,
India and the UK, similar infections have been reported in US, Canada, Australia
and the Netherlands and international researchers are concerned that these new
strains could become a major global health problem.


To reduce the spread of these bacteria, health authorities are recommending
proper hand hygiene and disinfection procedures. Dr. Terrance Owen, President &
CEO comments, "Using effective hand sanitizers and disinfectant products is an
important step in keeping one's environment safe. ALDA's products contain 70%
ethanol and benzalkonium chloride which have both proven to be very effective
against E. coli and other resistant bacteria, such as MRSA. Although the
threatened H1N1 pandemic did not materialize, it certainly made people aware of
the need for products that can reduce the transmission of infectious diseases.
The lessons learned may prove to be very useful as we face ever-increasing
numbers of Superbugs."
