食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊    據(jù)外媒報(bào)道，近日墨爾本圣文森特醫(yī)院（St Vincent's Hospital）發(fā)言人確認(rèn)該醫(yī)院的老年護(hù)理與康復(fù)科發(fā)現(xiàn)了一例超級(jí)病菌（Superbugs）感染病例。

　　據(jù)報(bào)道，墨爾本圣文森特醫(yī)院一名81歲的老人斯科特（Renee Scott）被發(fā)現(xiàn)攜帶有一種名為碳青霉烯類耐藥腸桿菌（CRE）的新型超級(jí)病菌。這是一種在人的腸道或皮膚繁殖的細(xì)菌，上皮組織完好時(shí)不會(huì)發(fā)病， 但一旦發(fā)生傷口感染，這種細(xì)菌的致死率可能高達(dá)50%。

　　醫(yī)院發(fā)言人表示，根據(jù)他們最新的調(diào)查研究，尚未發(fā)現(xiàn)斯科特體內(nèi)的超級(jí)病菌和她的病癥有關(guān)聯(lián)，而且也不是致病原因，醫(yī)護(hù)人員正在阻止病菌的擴(kuò)散。

　　部分原文報(bào)道如下：

　　St Vincent's Hospital is screening patients for a superbug that can kill up to half the people it infects, after the bacteria was discovered in an elderly patient who had surgery there six months ago.

　　St George's Health Service in Kew - a St Vincent's rehabilitation and aged care facility - is also on alert because the patient, Renee Scott, is now being cared for there in a single room with strict infection control procedures.

　　A St Vincent's spokesperson confirmed the case but would not reveal whether other cases had been found at the hospital since June last year, when it first revealed dozens of its patients had been affected by the bacteria since 2012.
