CRE is immune to antibiotic treatment and has a 50% mortality rate. It's also only a matter of time before we start getting cases outside heath care settings. Like MRSA, but worse.
So, if you happen to come down with a nasty case of CRE during a hospital stay...just flip a coin.
Heads: You live.
Tails: The CRE spreads. You die.
It seems to affect people over their '70s
