according to cdc, half of all patients who get blood stream infections of cre die. now, public health officials say the people getting infections are patients who are receiving complex or long-term medical care, mostly people who already have compromised immune systems. but this type of bacteria has a nasty property in which it can transfer its drug resays stance to other similar bacteria. the cdc is saying it's important for hospitals to take precautions to prevent this from spreading before it gets out eventually into the general community. so it's not something that is affecting the general public just yet. but the cdc saying it's time for hospitals and other medical providers to take precautions now to prevent its spread. >> shepard: jonathan, thank you. then there's north korea, who first said we don't want to war but now does of the north koreans are threatening to scrap the now 60-year-old crease fire that suspended the fighting in the korean war, which is not over. and north korea is warning of unspecified surgical strikes. that from the regime's state-run m

it's called cre and it is on the rise.he cdc, it says that in 2012, 200 hospitals and long-term care facilities had at least one incidence of this bacteria. so that's a lot of hospitals that are seeing this and there's probably even more that aren't getting reported. it is spread by the hands of people who work in hospitals. so again, this is hospitals, not so much outside of hospitals. >> so what are they doing in order to make sure that everybody is safe? >> hospitals are being told to be extremely careful about cleaning and about keeping every -- they should be doing it anyhow, but they're being told when you have one of these patients, you need to be really, really careful about keeping these patients away from other people and cleaning up. i always want to tell people what they can do because you can't control a hospital but you can be an empowered patient and control what happens in your room. ask doctors and nurses to wash their hands before they touch you. you shouldn't have to ask. hand sanitizer works as well. cl

economic growth and obviously we would like to see that happen and i think reducing the deficit helps cre create econoc growth. look, i think it is ridiculous to say that cutting $1.2 trillion over the next decade when we will spend $47 trillion of your money is a step too far. of course, we need to do that. and on top of that we need to build towards the entitlement reforms which obviously are creating the huge dent down the road. i think it was disappointing to all of us to have the president come in and talking the way that he is and by the way, i attend the dinner and have been on o the phone calls and met with the white house and appreciate the outreach. but in the midst of that to act as if this deficit issue is not that important was a little disheartening. i do think, chris, again, i think we have the best opportunity we are going to have under president over the next four months to solve this problem and i look forward to working with dick durbin and others as we try to build on the commonnallities that we have. we have a lot of things that separate us but there is enough commonn

where they reported about the upsurge in a certain type of multiple drug resistant bacteria, called crewhich is something that's growing in frequency, and is quite threatening. there are about a million to three million hospital acquired infections throughout the year in the united states, about 20% of them are among drug resistant microbes, and in a given year, about 90,000 people die from drug resistent microbes, almost all acquired in the hospital. it is something we need to pay important attention to. >> you say drug resistant microbes, we are vulnerable potentially, how did this develop? is it overuse of antibiotics that has resulted in this? >> it is just that. one of the major causes is inappropriate use of antibiotics where the antibiotics that you give for an infection you might not need or it is not given properly or for the right duration, what it does is it suppresses the sensitive bacteria, and allows the drug resistant ones to flourish. inappropriate use of antibiotics is the major cause of this issue. the other problem that we have, wolf, is that there's not a lot of enth
