Losing the Antibiotic race

The bacteria, known as Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE, are named for their ability to fight off carbapenem antibiotics -- the last line of defense in the medical toolbox. And so far, they've emerged almost exclusively in health care facilities, picking off the weakest of patients.
The doctors at this time have no way of treating these patients that have become infected with this mutated bacteria 
So if you plan to work in the healthcare field be sure to WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN. actually even if you are not in health care just wash your hands to stay healthy and reduce transmittance of germs
