CDC sounds alarm on rise in superbugs

Sep 30, 2025

A new CDC report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine shows a significant surge in drug-resistant bacteria, specifically the NDM-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (NDM-CRE).

Researchers say the increase in NDM-CRE cases underscores an urgent need for improved infection control measures and antibiotic stewardship programs.

What's next: The CDC recommends prompt testing to identify the type of carbapenemase, then careful antibiotic selection, as well as best prevention practices to combat this growing threat.
