Well, the title was cut off, but it's really scary nonetheless.

Scientists have found a new strain of bacteria that is resistant to all antibiotics

A life-threatening superbug as viewed under a microscope.

Emily Moulton, news.com.au


FOR years experts have warned there would come a day when antibiotics would cease being effective.

And it seems that day could be sooner than first thought after scientists discovered a new superbug that is not just impervious to the last line of defence medication, but has the ability to infect other bacteria.

But instead of destroying its virulent cousins this new strain of e.coli actually strengthens them by giving them the same antibiotic shield.

The unstoppable superbug was first found in China a few weeks ago.

Chinese and British scientists identified the first strain in a pig, then in raw pork meat and then in a small number of people.

I'm sure the CDC will bring some of the bacteria to the US for study. We can trust them to safely handle it.  :-)
