Over one in ten people the CDC screened for the superbugs carried them, even when they showed no symptoms. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has revealed that 221 cases of unusual antibiotic-resistant genes in bacteria were uncovered in the US last year. These include a strain of E. coli called O157 which is resistant to cephalosporins, an antibiotic used against urinary tract infections.
