The CDC in the United States has discovered more than 200 rare antibiotic-resistant genes.

April 3 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released Vital Signs on Wednesday reporting that it has found more than 200 rare antibiotic-resistant genes in a "nightmare bacteria" test.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report Wednesday that the agency took 5,776 "nightmare bacteria" from U.S. hospitals and nursing homes in 2017 and found that about a quarter of the drug-resistant genes can transmit resistance, including 221 "particularly rare drug-resistant genes."
"nightmare bacteria", known as "e. coli bacteria resistant to carbon penicillin-resistant antimicrobials" (CRE), belongto to the "anti-carbon penicillin e. coli bacteria."
is highly resistant to broad-spectrum antibiotics of carbon penicillin, which treat severity bacterial infections.
and drug-resistant genes can be transmitted in the environment, transferred to other bacteria, become drug-resistant bacteria, and are resistant to antibiotics. the
the spread of drug-resistant bacteria has become a major challenge in contemporary medicine because few new antibiotics have been available and existing antibiotics have not been able to effectively kill drug-resistant bacteria. Dr. Anne Schuchat,
, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the study focused on testing new, highly resistant bacteria that have not yet spread widely.
, however, most drug-resistant bacteria have been tested and can be found in u.S. states.
"the spread of antibiotic-resistant genes in the United States has become more than just a problem in individual regions.
this is shocking.
" she said, for example, 221 rare antibiotic-resistant genes were detected in isolated strains from 27 states in cases of pneumonia and urinary tract infections.
, said this is the first year of testing for rare drug-resistant genes, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn't have data to compare with previous years, so it's not clear how fast it's spread.
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) set up the Antibiotic Resistance Laboratory in 2016 and is pursuing an aggressive "containment program" that includes rapid testing and screening to reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance, time-trials and the times reported. About 2 million people in the U.S. are now resistant to antibiotics, and 23,000 die each year,
Schuchat said.
