Serious Bacteria Found To Be Resistant To Antibiotics

Posted: Updated:

"This is a bacteria that is really good at being resistant to antibiotics."

Sounds pretty scary right?  That is a direct quote from our Dr. Mike Cirigliano.

This bacteria, CRE, is mainly primarily found in nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

It is easily spread and pretty hard to eradicate and has many doctors worried about a possible outbreak.

Dr. Mike spoke about this bacteria this morning on Good Day.

The bottom line: WASH YOUR HANDS!

Check out the clip from Good Day top see what the good doctor has to say.
