RESULTS. In Group 1, the 336 swab cultures from surfaces around 8 hospitals yielded 66 cephalosporin-resistant bacteria, including 26 Brucella (Ochrobactrum) spp. and 12 Acinetobacter spp. One isolate of Brucella (Ochrobactrum) spp. was found to possess the carbapenemase OXA-24. Surfaces around 2...

In cases of antibiotic resistance, the infectious bacteria are no longer susceptible to previously effective antibiotics. According to theCDC, at least 2 million people in the U.S. are infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria every year, leading to t23,000 deaths annually. "Pretty much any inf...

What makes bacteria antibiotic resistant?Bacterial IntelligenceMany antibiotics are very specific as to the species of bacteria it wants to target and kill. When developing resistance, this particular bacteria can change parts of itself so it is unrecognizable to the very antibiotic designed to destroy...

Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus, often abbreviated to MRSA, is a type of staph bacteria. MRSA is considered a type of "superbug," because it has become resistant to antibiotics commonly used to treat it. Those antibiotics include methicillin, from which it gets its name, and also penic...
