Superbug Cases Expected To Rise In Coming Months


http://youtu.be/9PiriGocrac
After two confirmed U.S. cases of a superbug that thwarts a last-resort antibiotic, infectious disease experts say they expect more cases in coming months. They say the bacterial gene behind the deaths is likely far more widespread than previously believed. Army scientists in May reported finding E. coli bacteria that harbor a gene which renders the antibiotic colistin useless. The gene, called mcr-1, was found in a urine sample of a Pennsylvania woman being treated for a urinary tract infection. On Monday, researchers confirmed preliminary findings that E. coli carrying the same mcr-1 gene were found in a stored bacterial sample of a New York patient who had been treated for an infection last year. in addition it was found in patient samples from nine other countries. The report came from a global effort called the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program. It was led by Mariana Castanheira of JMI Laboratories based in North Liberty, Iowa. The bacteria can be transmitted by fecal contact and poor hygiene. According to leading infectious disease experts, this suggests a far wider likely presence than the documented cases so far. http://bit.ly/29zmce3 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
