While pan-resistant bacteria are very rare, superbugs resistant to antibiotics still remain a global concern, according to an article on the Inquisitr website. A woman in Reno, Nev., was recently killed by a superbug after visiting India.
A report predicted 10 million people per year would die from antibiotic-resistant infections by the year 2050 if nothing were done to combat the threat.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this most recent infection case should serve as a reminder for health practitioners to ask incoming patients about any travel outside the country.
In addition, extra infection control measures should be taken, including quarantining anyone who may be sick with a superbug.
