The Growing Threat of Multi-Drug Resistant E. coli Bacteria
Researchers have identified a multi-drug resistant strain of E. coli bacteria that could be a serious public health threat. The strain, known as ST11-MDR-AmpC, is resistant to nearly all antibiotics and is able to spread from person to person. This marks a significant development as it is the first time a multi-drug resistant strain has been identified in humans. The strain has been found in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, and is believed to be responsible for a number of outbreaks in recent years. The strain is particularly dangerous as it can cause infections that are difficult to treat with antibiotics, making it a serious threat to public health.
