Tainted eye drops outbreak claims more lives and causes vision loss.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 81 people have been infected with a drug-resistant bacteria found in certain brands of eyedrops, resulting in four deaths and 14 cases of vision loss. The bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is resistant to standard antibiotics. The CDC has linked the infections to products from EzriCare and Delsam Pharma, which were recalled in February. Health inspectors found problems with how the drops were made and tested at the plant in India that produced them. Cases have been reported from 18 states.
