"The doctors tried one antibiotic after another, racing to stop the infection as it tore through the man's body, but nothing worked."

Worrying, seems virus's are mutating and becoming stronger

more quotes from said article:

"There is little chance that an effective drug to kill CRE bacteria will be produced in the coming years. Manufacturers have no new antibiotics in development that show promise, according to federal officials and industry experts, and there's little financial incentive because the bacteria adapt quickly to resist new drugs."

"Many hospitals -- and an even greater percentage of nursing homes -- lack the capacity, such as lab capability, to identify CRE, or the resources to effectively screen and isolate patients carrying the bacteria. And even when screening is possible, there's a lack of consensus on whom to target."
