New York Faces a Rising Superbug Challenge Fueled by Antibiotic Misuse

New York is confronting a surge in the drug‑resistant fungus Candida auris and other 'nightmare bacteria'; infections are rising, largely driven by improper antibiotic use, while experts urge better antibiotic stewardship, the development of new drugs, and the PASTEUR Act to stabilize the market and spur research. Statewide last year recorded 623 clinical and 849 surveillance Candida auris cases, with the NYC metro area accounting for about 20% of US cases.

CDC Reports Surge in Dangerous, Antibiotic-Resistant 'Nightmare Bacteria' in the US

The CDC reports a nearly 70% increase in cases of drug-resistant 'nightmare bacteria' in the US from 2019 to 2023, driven mainly by bacteria with the NDM gene, which are difficult to treat and may lead to community spread, highlighting a concerning rise in antimicrobial resistance exacerbated by increased antibiotic use during the COVID-19 pandemic.

CDC Reports Nearly 70% Rise in Drug-Resistant 'Nightmare Bacteria' Cases in the US

The CDC reports a nearly 70% increase in cases of drug-resistant 'nightmare bacteria' in the U.S. from 2019 to 2023, driven mainly by bacteria with the NDM gene, which are difficult to treat and could lead to community spread and more chronic infections. The rise is partly attributed to increased antibiotic use during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actual number of cases is likely underestimated due to limited testing.
