Superbug: This term is used informally to describe bacteria that have developed resistance to the antibiotics typically employed to treat them, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or any bacterium resistant to multiple drugs. Certain bacteria have been identified as resistant threats in healthcare environments or labeled "superbugs" in the media. These include:- Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)- Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs)- Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)- Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa- Multidrug-resistant AcinetobacterE.coli H30-Rx: Over the last ten years, this strain of antibiotic-resistant E. coli has emerged as a leading cause of bacterial infections among women and the elderly worldwide.
