Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo premature infants contracted a virulent bacteria in Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital, Channel 2 news reports, though they are currently only carriers of the disease and have not been made sick by the bug.
This comes a month after four other infants were infected with the same bacteria.
The antibiotic resistant strain is considered particularly virulent.
The families of the infants and the Health Ministry have been informed of the incident, and the hospital is working to prevent further infections.
