One of the most dangerous health threats known to humans are superbugs that have evolved to be resistant to multiple drugs. And these superbugs are causing serious and often fatal illnesses, called super infections. The infection enters the blood stream, spreading throughout the whole body, often starting as a low grade systemic infection.
These super bugs that become immune to drugs are described as multidrug-resistant, or MDR. They are able to resist many pharmaceuticals such as amphotericin B, echinocandins, and fluconazole. They can survive on chairs, hospital equipment and furniture — on bed rails, chatheters — and even on human hands. They have become immune due to improper use of the medication, over-prescription, and even the use of these antibiotics on livestock. Bacteria adapts to antibiotics, thus, the more that it is exposed to drugs, the more it is able to resist, until it has become super bugs.
The CDC, or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is working on ways to control these super infections.
Those that are on higher risks include patients who have recently undergone surgery; those who have diabetes; patients on antibiotic/antifungal prescriptions especially those who have been taking these for longer periods than advised; those who are using central venous catheter, bladder catheter, breathing/feeding tubes; people who are frequently in the hospital or in nursing homes; and especially those whose immune system has been compromised or have weakened.
