L.A. County patient was infected with drug-resistant E. coli

Los Angeles County health officials announced Tuesday that a resident who died last year had been infected with E. coli bacteria carrying the mcr-1 gene. The mcr-1 gene was first discovered in China in November 2015. He said public health officials believe the man had been infected with E. coli in Asia, where he'd traveled shortly before falling ill, and that it hadn't spread locally. Colistin is often the only antibiotic to which many of these highly resistant bacteria succumb. Schwartz said the patient didn't die from the E. coli infection but from a different medical condition.
