ATLANTA, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- A two-year-old child in Connecticut has been found to have an antibiotic-resistant strain of E. coli -- the fourth to be found in the United States.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control announced Friday that the E. coli strain, called mcr-1, was found in a two-year-old girl who'd traveled to the Caribbean, and researchers said they expect to see more cases of the drug-resistant bug pop up in the United States.While the strain the girl had was resistant to colistin, the antibiotic of last resort for antibiotic-resistant bugs, it was not resistant to all antibiotics and she fully recovered after being treated with the antibiotic paromomycin.
