Human infections from drug-resistant bacteria are spiking in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned.
The CDC’s laboratory tests have shown that occurrences of a bacteria called NDM-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (NDM-CRE) have increased dramatically.
NDM-CRE belongs to a broader category of bacteria called carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), which have shown to resist some of the most powerful antibiotics available.
