Superbug stronger than antibiotics (Australia)

A NEW antibiotic-resistant superbug has emerged in Australia causing the death of one man and the infection of 50 others.

The deadly new disease has alarmed infectious diseases experts because it is acquired in the community rather than in hospital.

The man was admitted suffering from septicemia but failed to respond to flucloxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic.

These community-acquired resistant strains are big-time scary. I don't think it is hyperbole to say so.

Notice the caption on the photo calls it a "virus". That isn't correct, of course.
