“Resistant to every antibiotic, including the last one we had, Colistin.
“该名病人对每一种抗生素都产生抗性, 包括被视为“最后一道防线”的粘菌素。

It's an old antibiotic, but it was the only one left for what I've called nightmare bacteria.”
“粘菌素是一种老抗生素，但它是我们所剩唯一能对抗病人这种‘噩梦细菌'的抗生素。”

Frieden says this 49-year-old woman from Pennsylvania, has not left the country.
