Officials with Carolinas Health system saying two of the patients came to this charlotte area hospital already infected with the antibiotic resistant bug call cre. Another patient was infected somewhere in the hospital, its unclear how. Antibiotic resistant superbugs can spread by contaminated equipment or simple human contact, even doctors ties or hospital surfaces like walls or beds. Which is why hospitals across the country are trying new ways to fight an invisible enemy. Like using robots sterilizing a room with a uv light. The latest cases follow a cre outbreak at uclas Medical Center this week after Officials Say the superbug spread by endoscopes contaminated from past procedures. Officials at the North Carolina hospital say all of their endoscopes tested negative for cre. Every here 500,000 americans get procedures using scopes. Their intricate parts can make them hard to clean. Ucla is now stepping up its sanitzation process going beyond standard guidelines. At the university of pittsburgh they sterilize the devices for 18 hours, using a special gas. The fda says its studying solutions, but some argue thats not enough. So we need better regulation, we need more education and we need better drugs to fight these resistant bacteria.

We turn to texas and the american sniper trial. As dlib riceacial s grow near, the hollywood depicting reallife murder is about to hit the big stage at the oscars. Heres lindsey gonzalez. Reporter the drama of american sniper chris kyles life played out on the big screen. But the final chapter is being written here in this texas courthouse, and the timing, experts say, is unprecedented. The trial for Eddie Ray Routh who admittedly killed kyle and his friend chad littlefield at a shooting range two years ago is soon to go to a jury. Closing arguments could begin as soon as monday, just hours after the movie american sniper goes up for six Academy Awards, including best picture. The jury was never told to avoid watching the oscars, raising some question about whether hollywoods biggest night and the popularity of this film could play a role in that jury room. Though the movie depicts kyle as a war hero, joellan demitrius is confident the jury wont be swayed. Even if this wins six awards. That jury will do their civil duty by taking into consideration solely the evidence and the witnesses that they heard in the courtroom. Routh has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. One psychiatrist testifying that the marine veteran had severe schizophrenia and didnt know right from wrong. The prosecution claiming he was fully aware of his actions. Demitrius says in the end the emotional testimony will prove to be far more powerful than anything ever created in hollywood. Marci gonzalez, abc news, new york.

I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.
