Dr. Spellberg: There are increasing cases of infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to every FDA-approved antibiotic, and we literally have no treatment for those bacteria.

What these organisms have done by creating "super antibiotic resistance" is they've sent medicine back 70 years in time.

Katie Couric: How did we get to this point?

Dr. Spellberg: Antibiotic resistance has always been with us. But in the past, whenever it caught up, the drug companies would just come out with the next generation of antibiotics and the problem would be solved. We're no longer getting bailed out with new antibiotic development.
