A day after the World Health Organization declared the H1N1 pandemic has run its course, we’re hearing of a new 'superbug' that’s been detected in Europe and Asia. Scientists are worried it could spread around the world thanks to so-called medical tourism, where people travel far and wide for medical and cosmetic treatments. This new bacteria is highly resistant to almost all anti-biotics and there are no new drugs on the horizon to battle it. It is most prevalent in Pakistan and India, but has also been detected in hospitals in England.
