A Nevada woman dies of a superbug resistant to every available antibiotic in the US
Description: Public health officials from Nevada are reporting on a case of a woman who died in Reno in September from an incurable infection. Testing showed the superbug that had spread throughout her system could fend off 26 different antibiotics. It was tested against everything that's available in the United States and was not effective. Although this isn't the first time someone in the US has been infected with pan-resistant bacteria, at this point, it is not common. It is, however, alarming.[Source: Fox News]
