Unusually antibiotic-resistant bacteria were recently identified by the CDC's Antibiotic Resistance Lab Network, according to a report issued by the agency last week. The Vital Signs report noted 220 occurrences in the U.S. of germs, also referred to as "nightmare bacteria," which could not be eradicated by the majority of or by any available antibiotics. Tru-d SmartUVC robot is intended to stifle the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria through UVC disinfection in patient rooms, and other hospital areas. A CDC-funded trial of the SmartUVC disinfection robot reduced the risk of acquiring or spreading four key "superbugs" by 30 percent.
