Excerpt
SUMMARY: Has the age of antibiotics come to an end? New strains of bacteria are on the rise, landing normally healthy people in the hospital with life-threatening, drug-resistant infections. Ray Suarez talks to David Hoffman, the journalist who led the investigation for Frontline's "Hunting the Nightmare Bacteria (53:41 full show video)."
JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Next: the mounting worries and public health concerns over the rise of drug-resistant bacteria. That's the subject of tonight's episode of FRONTLINE.
To tell the story, the program examines three notable cases, including that of Addie Rerecich, an 11-year-old girl in Tucson. After complaining of a nagging pain in her hip, she ended up fighting for her life in the hospital in 2011.
Here's an excerpt, beginning with her mother's recollection.
