The cause of death was sepsis, following infection from a rare bacteria known as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), which is resistant to all antibiotics available in the United States.Heaven only knows what overseas antibiotics prohibited by the FDA could have saved her. Oh, wait . . .
Postmortem tests showed her infection might have responded to a treatment called fosfomycin, which is not approved in the United States.
Deadly Nanny State PING!

Couldn’t they have sent 26 antibiotics to India instead of bringing her back here?”
LOL! That was my favorite from the article replies.

I’m not a doctor so I have no idea about current research.
But I do think we may overusing or misusing antibiotics.
We need to be careful. My father has sepsis when he was around five. They thought he would die. This was in the late 30’s, I think.
The doctor asked my grandmother if she would like to try a new drug. An experimental sulfa related antibiotic.
My grandmother said of course absolutely! It saved his life.
