美國科羅拉多州6人感染頑固超級細菌

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)外媒報道，美國衛(wèi)生部門證實，6名不是醫(yī)護人員也不曾到醫(yī)院接受相關(guān)治療的民眾感染了“惡夢”超級細菌，這是罕見的在醫(yī)院戒護區(qū)外發(fā)生的感染案例。

 

    美國科羅拉多州公共衛(wèi)生及環(huán)境部門的研究報告證實，該州在近兩年內(nèi)，出現(xiàn)6名一般民眾感染“惡夢”超級細菌的案例，這6個確診病例，既非醫(yī)務(wù)人員，在一年內(nèi)也不曾到醫(yī)院就診和接受過插管、手術(shù)等醫(yī)療行為。

 

    根據(jù)美國疾病控制與預(yù)防中心（CDC）的報告，由于“惡夢”超級細菌幾乎對每一種抗生素都已產(chǎn)生耐藥性，所以很難用抗生素殺死病菌，因此感染“惡夢”的人有50%的死亡風(fēng)險。

    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）。
