More than 35,000 die as a result, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency produced an update of its first analysis in 2013 of antibiotic resistance in the U.S. that outlines the top 18 resistant pathogens and evaluates progress in the fight against super bugs.
