美國衛生部門證實，6名不是醫護人員也不曾到醫院接受相關治療的民眾感染了「惡夢」
超級細菌，這是罕見的在醫院戒護區外發生的感染案例。
美國科羅拉多州公共衛生及環境部門的研究報告證實，該州在近兩年內，出現6名一般民眾感染「惡夢」超級細菌的案例，這6個確診病例，既非醫務人員，在一年內也不曾到醫院就診和接受過插管、手術等醫療行為。
根據美國疾病控制與預防中心（CDC）的報告，由於「惡夢」超級細菌幾乎對每一種抗生素都已產生耐藥性，所以很難用抗生素殺死病菌，因此感染「惡夢」的人有50%的死亡風險。
部分原文報導如下：
Six people in Colorado recently became infected with a 「nightmare」 superbug that until now, has mostly been limited to people in hospitals, according to a new report. The new cases suggest the superbug may have spread outside of health care facilities.
The superbug is known as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE, a family of bacteria that are difficult to treat because they are resistant to powerful antibiotics. So far, nearly all cases of CRE infections have been seen in people who stay health care facilities, or who have been treated with certain medical procedures or devices, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC）。
