A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vital Signs report found more than 200 rare antibiotic-resistant genes in "nightmare" bacteria tested in 2017, according to an article on the CNN website.
The report focused on the new and highly resistant germs found in 27 states, but a variety of resistant germs can be found in every state.
While public health officials concentrate on containment protocols, each of us can help limit antibiotic resistance by keeping our hands clean and disinfecting cuts, the CDC recommended.
Because patients transfer from hospitals and nursing homes, germs can spread across the nation.
