Superbugs Growing fast- Ausia Jones

           There’s a superbug that killed 2 people in los Angeles not too long ago. Eighteen people have contracted CRE so far this year at a hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina. 15 had CRE upon admission to the hospital in Charlotte; three acquired it in the hospital, and one died. Seven patients contracted CRE after routine endoscopic procedures. Hospital officials there have said the outbreak was caused by two medical scopes that still carried the deadly bacteria even though disinfection guidelines were followed. Some CRE bacteria can resist most antibiotics. The is going to effect the U.S. socially. Since these bacterias do not have an antibiotic it could continue to spread leading to more deaths which is very scary.
