Frontline: "Superbugs: Hunting The Nightmare Bacteria"



Alan: Will we wake one day to the 21st century equivalent of The Black Plague and - in short order - witness the death of one in three people we know? Nah! Better the GOP undertake its 44th attempt to repeal Obamacare.

Addie Rerecich was a happy 11-year-old girl who loved sports and talked a mile a minute. 

But when a mysterious pain in her hip landed her in the hospital in 2011, she began a downward spiral into the nightmare of a new kind of antibiotic-resistant infection that is confounding doctors across the world.


Tonight at 10 p.m. (check local PBS listings), in FRONTLINE's Hunting the Nightmare Bacteria, journalist David E. Hoffman examines the rise of deadly superbugs that are defying modern antibiotics.

How did we reach this point? And why?

Don't miss Hunting the Nightmare Bacteria, tonight on FRONTLINE.
