CDC’s Graphs of the Year: Nightmare bacteria spread and 100,000 smokers likely quit with Tips
Media Advisory For Immediate Release: Tuesday, December 31, 2013
CDC marks the end of 2013 with its eye on the threat of a “nightmare bacteria.” Every year, 23,000 people die as a result of infections that are resistant to antibiotics and more than two million people are sickened. Highly drug-resistant bacteria, known as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, spread from one medical facility in one state in 2001 to medical facilities in 46 states and counting in 2013.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2012 Tips From Former Smokers campaign helped more than 100,000 Americans likely quit smoking for good, exceeding the original goal of 50,000. The 2013 Tips campaign generated 150,000 additional calls to quitlines and 2.8 million additional website visits.
