A recent study has revealed a widespread prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae outside hospitals in the United States. Samples were collected from over two thousand individuals across 42 states. The results showed that approximately 70% of the different strains were resistant to the three most commonly used oral antibiotics, with this resistance spreading both regionally and nationally. This is attributed to a gene known as "CTX-M-15," which enhances the bacteria's resistance and increases its ability to withstand stress and metals, marking a serious shift in the spread of this resistant bacteria.
