CDC reports Nevada’s first ‘nightmare bacteria’
By Marcella Corona, Reno Gazette-Journal
Public health officials reported a Reno woman who died last year from an incurable superbug – a problem that is spreading in the U.S.
The drug-resistant bacteria made its way overseas and was the first superbug case to be reported in Nevada, the Center for Disease Control said in a report last week.
The bug was resistant to 26 different antibiotics, according to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
