Drug-resistant superbugs are hitting U.S. hospital patients harder than ever, and the problem goes way beyond one type of bacteria. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows a sharp rise in CRE infections—those tough carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales germs that doctors first spotted in the U.S. back in 2001.

Dirty hospitals are putting patients at risk of deadly superbug infections. Learn more about the crisis.
