美国科罗拉多州6人感染顽固超级细菌

    食品伙伴网讯  据外媒报道，美国卫生部门证实，6名不是医护人员也不曾到医院接受相关治疗的民众感染了“恶梦”超级细菌，这是罕见的在医院戒护区外发生的感染案例。

 

    美国科罗拉多州公共卫生及环境部门的研究报告证实，该州在近两年内，出现6名一般民众感染“恶梦”超级细菌的案例，这6个确诊病例，既非医务人员，在一年内也不曾到医院就诊和接受过插管、手术等医疗行为。

 

    根据美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的报告，由于“恶梦”超级细菌几乎对每一种抗生素都已产生耐药性，所以很难用抗生素杀死病菌，因此感染“恶梦”的人有50%的死亡风险。

    Six people in Colorado recently became infected with a “nightmare” superbug that until now, has mostly been limited to people in hospitals, according to a new report. The new cases suggest the superbug may have spread outside of health care facilities.

 

    The superbug is known as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE, a family of bacteria that are difficult to treat because they are resistant to powerful antibiotics. So far, nearly all cases of CRE infections have been seen in people who stay health care facilities, or who have been treated with certain medical procedures or devices, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC）。
