Southern California Hospitals Unleash Lethal SuperBug

Southern California Hospitals Unleash Lethal SuperBug

Mar 7, 2016 | Controversial, Health, Health Care |

Los Angeles Times Reporter, Melody Peterson has an article on Southern California Hospitals unleashing millions of gallons of raw sewage into the sewers.

The malodorous muck flows miles to one of the region’s sewage plants, where it is treated with the rest of the area’s waste and then released as clear water into a stream or directly to the Pacific.

Scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency recently announced they had discovered a lethal superbug — the same one that caused outbreaks at UCLA and two other Los Angeles-area hospitals — in sewage at one of those plants. They declined to name the facility.

EPA scientists did not test treated wastewater flowing out of the plant to determine whether it still contained CRE, or carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae.
