My Way News - UK doctors: New superbug gene could spread widely

My Way News reports: "People traveling to India for medical procedures have brought back to Britain a new gene that allows any bacteria to become a superbug, and scientists are warning this type of drug resistance could soon appear worldwide."

Comment: This is scary. It's not enough that we have to worry about diseases that we already have limited immunity to but now we have to worry about a new class of superbugs that we don't have any defenses or drugs for.
