Super Bacteria Resistant To Antibiotics Spreading Around The Globe
A new type of super bacteria resistant to all forms of antibiotics has been discovered, and it’s making its way around the globe, according to scientists. The bacteria, containing the MCR-1 gene, first showed up in China last November hospitalising 1,322 patients. It then moved to Denmark when a patient was diagnosed with an untreatable form of salmonella. Now the superbug is spreading to other parts of the globe, and scientists don’t yet know how to treat it. Myscienceacademy.org reports: The superbugs were also detected in Africa, and are believed to have traveled to Laos and Malaysia.
