McBuggin'

dangerous germ... more life-threatening infections than public health authorities had thought... killing more people in the United States each year than the AIDS virus... invulnerable to first-line antibiotics... 94,000 serious infections... 19,000 deaths each year... insidious pathogen... "We should be very worried... It's really just the tip of the iceberg..." few remaining effective drugs... painful, disfiguring "necrotizing" abscesses that eat away tissue... unusually serious pneumonia... 31 out of every 100,000 Americans... superbug...
