New superbugs immune to drugs

Health officials say bacteria resistant to all known antibiotics have infected people in three states and are showing up around the world. The U.S. cases have been found in California, Massachusetts and Illinois.



What's Bugging You?

Health officials say we must beware
Because we have another fitness scare.
It seems we have so big a bug,
We're quite hard pressed to find a drug
To fight a threat that so exotic,
It has no fear of antibiotic.
How vital it is that each understands
How important it is to wash our hands.
