A Drug-Resistant Superbug Is Spreading in Hospitals Antibiotic-resistant superbugs are spreading in hospitals, a Europe-wide study has revealed. The spread of antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia is "extremely concerning," <br />say researchers. Klebsiella pneumonia can live in the intestines undetected for healthy people. But during times of sickness, the bacteria can infect the lungs, blood and brain, causing pneumonia <br />or meningitis. Deaths from K. pneumonia increased from 341 in Europe in 2007 to 2,094 by 2015. Dr Sophia David, Sanger Institute, via BBC
