Serious Bacteria Found To Be Resistant To Antibiotics

Posted: Updated:

"This is a bacteria that is really good at being resistant to antibiotics."

Sounds pretty scary right?  That is a direct quote from our Dr. Mike Cirigliano.

Dr. Mike spoke about this bacteria this morning on Good Day.

The bottom line: WASH YOUR HANDS!

Check out the clip from Good Day top see what the good doctor has to say.
