In California, cases of drug-resistant bacteria and fungi, including 'nightmare bacteria' and the deadly fungus C. auris, are rising sharply, reflecting a nationwide increase in antibiotic-resistant infections, driven partly by overuse of antibiotics during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A drug-resistant bacteria called NDM, known as 'nightmare bacteria,' is spreading across the US, including South Carolina, causing infections that are difficult to treat and potentially deadly, with limited testing and infection control challenges exacerbating the threat.
The CDC reports a significant rise in infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, known as 'nightmare bacteria,' which are highly resistant to antibiotics, easily spread in healthcare settings, and pose a serious threat due to high mortality rates and potential community spread.
The CDC reports a nearly 70% increase in cases of drug-resistant 'nightmare bacteria' in the US from 2019 to 2023, driven mainly by bacteria with the NDM gene, which are difficult to treat and may lead to community spread, highlighting a concerning rise in antimicrobial resistance exacerbated by increased antibiotic use during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cases of drug-resistant 'nightmare bacteria' in the U.S. have increased nearly 70% from 2019 to 2023, driven mainly by bacteria with the NDM gene, which are difficult to treat and may lead to community spread and more chronic infections, raising significant public health concerns.
Infection rates from drug-resistant 'nightmare bacteria' with the NDM gene have increased nearly 70% in the US from 2019 to 2023, driven by limited treatment options and increased antibiotic use during the COVID-19 pandemic, posing a significant public health threat.
The CDC reports a nearly 70% increase in cases of drug-resistant 'nightmare bacteria' in the U.S. from 2019 to 2023, driven mainly by bacteria with the NDM gene, which are difficult to treat and could lead to community spread and more chronic infections. The rise is partly attributed to increased antibiotic use during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actual number of cases is likely underestimated due to limited testing.
