Seven boys were infected with superbug bacteria in Los Angeles hospital. Under study of researchers by University of California, they found to be infected by hot antibacterial resistant bacteria. One of them is 18 old boy and seems very severe in intensive care unit.
Attorney of boy said that type of bacteria is carbapenem-resistant anti-bacterias. Series of them were transfered during endoscopies in LosAngeles Ronald Regan Medical hospital. CDC officials warned all 179 patients who were gone under endoscopies about possible infection of superbug bacteria.
Duodenoscope procedure is done for treatment of bile duct and pancreatic. A endoscope is put down the throat of patient and taken down to check body parts. The same device is used after germ cleaning on various patients. When taken from one patient and inserted to other, it carried with it small microbes that carry anti-bacterial infection (superbug).
USA CDC has introduced new duodenoscope manufacturing standards and urged FDA to keep a keen eye. Untill now only 7 were found infected but possible number can grow to 159 or more.
