These antibiotic immunity related deaths seem only to happen inside hospitals though.
- Retric 14y agoSick people go to the hospital in the first place so they often die there irregardless of the source of there injury's. Infections are often related to a compromised immune system / wounds so your risks are a lot higher in a hospital than say an office setting. Also, Bactria exchange genetic material on a regular basis so things often concentrate in hospitals even if the source of the mutation is on a farm somewhere. The good news is that super bugs often provoke a strong response from the healthcare community which can quarantine the people / area and generally stop the spread of specific agents. PS: What makes this even more frightening is you can't safely do operations without antibiotics as they basically guarantee infection.
