Every 15 minutes, someone in the United States dies of a superbug that has learned to outsmart even our most sophisticated antibiotics, according to a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That's about 35,000 deaths each year from drug-resistant infections, according to the landmark report.People in the United States are misusing antibiotics, study saysThe report places five drug-resistant superbugs on the CDC's"urgent threat" list -- two more germs than were on the CDC's list in 2013, the last time the agency issued a report on antibiotic resistance.Genetic research shows germs have become especially adept at teaching each other how to outwit antibiotics.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, points out that whether it's overuse in humans or animals, since antibiotic resistance is largely a man-made problem, it requires man-made solutions."We are the problem. We have seen the enemy, and it is us," he said.But Fauci added that if doctors, patients and public health officials work together, it will be possible to stem the tide of antibiotic resistant infections.

Maybe trade deal announcement will come today? Trump knows something..

Every 15 minutes CNN infects America with their fakenews partisan agenda. We need a vaccination against CNN! (Or just change the channel.) 😂😂😂

bug_bomber what do we do, chief?

Perhaps because of this

'Every 15 minutes'! In ten years, every 5 minutes someone dies from a superbug. In 20 years, someone dies every minute. In 30, every second. Then later they count persons dying every second. It seems like dread.

Let Bacteriophages kill those superbugs.

Superbugs don't 'LEARN' to outsmart antibiotics. Antibiotics kill off their competition, leaving only those adapted to be resistant to the drugs that killed their ancestors. Sort of like todays Media. Morons.

LNN

Or maybe antibiotics dont work🤔

Great

This story...

The superbug probably originated in Sh1tHole California

Abella_Danger

They're Democrats .

Every 15 minutes people think, 🤔 there is no way Epstein chokes himself out.

...berbagi gen resistensi mereka satu sama lain. Saya tak paham🙃

Abella_Danger Cnn fake news

That’s why we need more guns! (I’m joking. This is serious shit)

The only thing that sucks about this, is that it’s America’s fault but all of humanity suffers... like if it was just Americans because it’s they’re fault for crying about a 3 day cold and begging for zpacks. Or other inappropriate antibiotic use

? Preocupante para la salud mundial

Clocks can be dramatic but deceptive. Stated deaths: 35,000. U.S. deaths 2017: 2,813,503. That's one every 11.2 seconds.

So around 1% of all deaths in the U.S. per year But that doesn't get you clicks now does it. Sounds better when you spin it as every 15 min

Omg

Darwinism sucks. Why is it so persistent? Like a teenage boy.

You are fake news

They don’t “outsmart” antibiotics. The survivors of the antibiotic simply make more of themselves, as the dead ones cannot.

Every 5 seconds someone in the world dies from smoking.

Did this superbug kill JeffreyEpstein?

excellent

Wow

Pelosi will replace American Citizens that die due to NO new drugs coming to market with ILLEGALS. They are here voting ILLEGALLY any way.

Pelosi is rooting 4 the Superbugs. She is aware MILLIONS will die if her Socialist/Communist tax plan 2 ELIMINATE all further drug development plan passes. She 100% knows NO new drug development will lead 2untold deaths. BTW BHO/Biden did nothing when China took over drug making

this is why you don't take your medications correctly

That happened to me but I was able to take care of things

maabsferreira

No thanks!!

My dad always said that eventually something like the black plague or a superbug would come back....in reality is this really surprising when people seem to take antibiotics for everything even when they dont need them.

superbug has super timing cnn is MonkeyPooNews

terrysuemac this is what i'm talking about

Every 15 minutes? 😲

I don't think it 'Learned' to outsmart antibiotics.

There’s no such thing as a sophisticated antibiotic. Only Bacteria that display sophisticated behavior

“People taking antibiotics are 7 to 10 times more likely to get C. diff while on the drugs and during the month after.” 🤔🤔🤔

Bug for general discussion.

More people would die if we would not have antibiotics.

60 year old died of the shits? Someone contact walterowensgrpa

'Outsmart'?

they died from CNN sponsors.

Revenge of the pathogens

Superbugs vs human

I wish I could retweet this a thousand times!!!!

Fake news

And everyday 266 black babies are murdered in their mother's womb.

We are really busy trying to unseat the president of the USA. pLease, give us our space.

Sweet nuts. 😐

Please please find an answer to this, I am antibiotic resistant.

Bacteria don’t “learn”. They evolve. Yes, that same Darwin stuff.

Seems like we’d run out of motherfuckers soon...

Wow

Fake news

Where's our fecal coliform laws for Ca. water quality during the HIV/AIDS epidemic? Look at the two wind storms in late fall we had in CA. from the E-coli thread from skid row L.A. and Santa Rosa etc-- What about SLO's drinking and farm water? What about Santa Cruz's tourism?

This is old news, no investment as been given to find a new generation of antibiotics. We have the same problems around the world, we must look at what nature can help. And go back to good washing of hands cleaning wounds fast, and iodine, .

Why is it called a Superbug?

Wow 😳

I can't tell people don't seem to be dropping dead all around me everyday ;)

cormahir necesitas una bata con esto

Sure ;)

The only thing that can kill super bugs besides extreme heat / cold are bacteriophages, but they are still being researched.

😭☝️🤲☝️😭☝️

charlieburton9 this true?

We need to impeach Trump. He is responsible

And to think some people want to jeopardize our innovative drugs by price-setting which would only hurt the flow fo research funds $$$! No one wants LessCures

The prognosis is dire indeed especially since big pharma is more concerned with their earnings and market caps and thereby cutting down on R&D spend for new drugs to keep up with the mutation of the common viruses 🦠 like the common flu let alone these superbugs.

Question: can we cure diseases without antibiotics? We also consume antibiotics in chiken, beef & others meats! And the more we consume without reason, the more we reduce the immune power of the body since the antibiotic is a active ingredient.The human body is a chemical complex

Looks like the government made a new death disease. And just like medí cal it’s free just for you lol. Gotta love United States 🖕🏻

Bugs can’t think. They evolve to survive like every other organism

Sounds pretty man made to me

Just a lost a friend to a superbug :(

Hell yes

Population control and Agenda 21

Also Breaking News: People die everyday for lack of access to healthcare. MedicareForAll

🙏🏻

Thank fuck, one too many people on this earth. Maybe the cost of a one bedroom apartment will go down 🤣

woop there goes another one!

The mysterious nature in which we live in this planet. We are a virus that refuses to live in harmony with nature therefore the superbugs are like white blood cells attacking an invading virus.

Millennial Bug

Well, more bullshit to keep people scare.

Great, there are 2 billion people to much anyway

Scary

Time to break out the nano silver. Antibiotics always creat more issues

Maybe this is what’s causing leftist rage.

The pandemic is looming.

Over prescribing of antibiotics, antibiotics in our meat, people not following instructions with antibiotics

Well fuck.

„outsmart“ is a very nice description... the problem is that the meat industy is feeding the latest antibiotics to their animals - just in case... as a consequence these antibiotics are in our food and water - but very low concentration this is where the bugs learn to survive...

I guess I'm moving to Greenland.

Maybe Epstein was murdered by a superbug? Guess we’ll never know 🤷🏻‍♂️

Weird way to avoid using the term 'evolved' but okay
