The research in question: <a href="https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/mgen/10.1099/mgen.0.001345" rel="nofollow">https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/mgen/10...</a><p>They were doing genetic sequencing across a decade or so at this one hospital to document how the bacteria is evolving to develop resistance - and it currently has resistance to a wide number of drugs.<p>Sounds like it is highly prevalent in hospitals in lesser developed countries and has been slowly developing resistance but not widely studied, and this particular strain at this particular hospital seems to be further along the path.<p>WHO considers it a "critical priority antibiotic-resistant pathogen."<p>Most hits on the subject in the news seem to be coming from tabloid-level organizations. This looked fairly sane:
