These bacteria are resistant to all antibiotics. Farmers in China have used our last-resort antibiotic to make their cows more meaty, and in doing so have allowed bacteria such as Salmonella, E.coli and some pneumonia causing bacteria to become resistant to it. These bacteria can share this resistance to other bacteria, and also have resistances to pretty much every other antibiotic. If this were to spread, people with basic infections will die; even in first world countries. Some Chinese meat imported to Denmark carried some of this new bacteria, and there has already been a human case of Salmonella which is untreatable.
This is expected to spread worldwide. If a new treatment is not manufactured soon, young children, elderly, and people with compromised immune systems (cancer patients and people who have recently undergone surgery) are at serious risk of lethal infection.

I don't expect anyone to have heard about this, news outlets aren't reporting it. But don't worry, the headline article on the Australian news tells us all about a psychic who predicted the ISIS take over of the world! More ISIS scaremongering. Makes me sick.

Quote from medical professionals:
"R&D on new treatments, especially antibiotics that aren't based on tetracycline, mycins, or macrolides, is slow going and has significant maturation time. In the meanwhile, drugs that are used to treat life-threatening infections will become ineffective. Last resort antibiotics have significant systemic side effects already, and if even those are ineffective, we could see survival rates of bacterial infection drop to rates similar to those from before pencillin was developed; in effect, it would be as if we didn't have antibiotics. We can still contain this threat, but it will take a concerted worldwide push to totally eliminate unnecessary antibiotic use (such as doctor visits for flu or minor illnesses) and ensure maximum adherence to regimes as prescribed."
"Just finishing my MD. I do research on MRSA as well. It's pretty bad, but a lot of people are working very very hard to try and find solutions. I was at a national meeting for an infection society the day they announced the new antibiotics that just received apporoval to treat some pretty bad infections. Also take some comfort in the fact that a lot of bugs have a lot of different treatments (or combination of treatments). A significant portion of these bugs haven't become to resistant to anything so far. I don't think it will be like a world without antibiotics but certain infections will go from "take some pills at home" to "8 day hospital stay with an IV antibiotic schedule"."
