Researchers in Brazil have found bacteria
resistant to the onslaught of antibiotics in the waters of Rio de Janeiro.
They found the bacteria in a sample at Flamengo Beach and a number of locations along the Carioca River.
Type 'superbugs' are usually found in hospital waste and produce enzymes, KPC.
The cause of the bacteria that could be in the waters of the Rio lies in the fact that almost 70% of waste in the city of Rio - with a population of 10 million people - discharged into the river it to be in the Guanabara Bay.
Residents have been told not to swim in Flamengo Beach are often declared unfit, but they ignore this official warning.

This super bacteria can cause various diseases such as stomach, bladder, and lung infections.
"The problem is if someone is infected by chance he had to be hospitalized," said Ana Paula D'Alincourt Carvalho Assef, lead researcher of the Institute Oswaldo Cruz told the Associated Press.

"Because of this super bacteria resistant to drugs most modern, the doctors have to rely on drugs that are rarely used.
Although the waters of the Rio are super bacteria, a number of sports will compete in the 2016 Olympics there. Call it, the screen and surfing sports.
To that end, the government of Rio promises to reduce pollution in Guanabara Bay by 80%.
But in June, the mayor of Rio, Eduardo Silva, recognizes the target will not be met
"I am sorry that the Guanabara Bay is not entirely clean for a game," he said.
The Brazilian government says they understand the concerns of a number of athletes, but insisted that marine pollution will not pose a health risk.
