CDC Responds To Concerns About Superbug Tracking

Reuters reporters spoke with Here & Now in September about their investigation into how the U.S. tracks deaths related to drug-resistant infections — or superbugs. They found a shocking lack of data, largely because of inconsistent tracking practices across different hospitals and states.

Responding to the claims, Dr. Beth Bell, director of the Center for Disease Control's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, speaks with Here & Now's Robin Young about solutions for tracking and fighting superbugs.
