I've heard about a superbug too on the news and in the newpaper. It is a bacteria that is widespread in India. They were saying that doctors should be checking people who have recently received medical care in India where it is widespread. It is in three states and Canada.
They don't know how many deaths it has caused. It is found in bacteria in the gut and in urinary infections. It occurred in people from California, Massachusetts, and Illinois. Three types of bacteria are involved. They want doctors to look for it especially in people who have traveled to India and Pakistan. And that it was spread from hand to mouth. Washing your hands is very important. And do not get antibiotics unless they are really needed for a problem. The three U.S. patients were not related but they all had traveled in India. I believe the one woman had been in a car accident in India and treated there. Maybe this is a different bug.
