An article written by Maryn McKenna in CNBC Guest blog, excerpt :
" Medical tourism, family travel and international migration have combined to import a potent new form of antibiotic resistance halfway around the planet—and the physician-researchers who have tracked its rapid spread say it is already on the verge of becoming untreatable.
News of the new resistance factor has been percolating in smaller medical reports for a few months, including the weekly bulletin of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (which I covered on my blog in June). But Wednesday's announcement, published "ahead of print" on the website of the journal Lancet Infectious Disease, signals a higher level of concern."
