Superbugs Get Their Start in Larger Hospitals

Posted: Updated:

New research finds the super-bug starts in large hospitals and then spreads to smaller ones.

Scientists in Scotland say they've found evidence that shows how the Mrs-a bacteria moves from hospital to hospital.

They found that regional hospitals in big cities, where many patients are treated, serve as breeding grounds for the super-bug, which is mainly spread on people's hands.
