From a Research Letter to CDC's Emerging Infectious Diseases, Fall 2023 Issue:
"A man in his mid-50s suffered multiple traumatic injuries after a vehicle fire, including full-thickness burns covering 60% of his total body surface. He was initially treated in a medical facility near Dnipro, Ukraine, before being transferred to a hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine, where healthcare practitioners performed burn wound debridement and escharotomies. Thereafter, the patient was transported to a US military hospital in Germany, where doctors obtained blood, urine, respiratory, and peri-rectal surveillance cultures."
These cultures grew six extensively drug-resistant bacteria: A. baumannii, Enterococcus faecium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 3 distinct morphologies of P. aeruginosa. These bacteria were found to be non-susceptible to almost every antibiotic tested against them.
