Antibiotic-resistant bacteria linked to severe stomach illness across US
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A drug-resistant bacterial infection has been on the rise in the U.S. in recent years, according to an alert from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Shigella, a gram-negative bacteria, causes a diarrheal illness called shigellosis. Drug-resistant incidences of the infection have “increased substantially” in the U.S. between 2011 and 2023.
Researchers analyzed over 16,000 Shigella samples, testing them for antibiotic resistance to determine how many would not respond to commonly used antibiotics.
DEADLY ‘SUPERBUG’ IS SPREADING ACROSS US AS DRUG RESISTANCE GROWS, RESEARCHERS WARN
In 2011, there were no cases of highly drug-resistant Shigella infections; by 2023, approximately 8.5% of infections met that criteria.
The findings were published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on April 9.

Drug resistance was defined as not responding to ampicillin, azithromycin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, which are the antibiotics commonly used to treat bacterial infections like Shigella.
No FDA–approved oral antimicrobial agents are available to treat drug-resistant cases, the CDC stated.

The majority of patients were adult men (86%), with a median age of 41. Among patients who reported their travel history, more than 80% said they had not left the country recently, suggesting that infections were spreading within the U.S.
About one in three infected patients required hospitalization, the report stated. Among the people who provided their HIV status, nearly half were infected with the virus.
Drug-resistant incidences of the infection have “increased substantially” in the U.S. between 2011 and 2023.
The study had some limitations, the researchers noted. There is the chance that the CDC’s surveillance data may not capture all U.S. cases, and there may be missing data for key variables like travel history and HIV status.

Also, the findings may not be generalizable to all populations or settings.
To combat the rise of resistant infections, the CDC researchers emphasized the need for ongoing surveillance and public health response.
Symptoms and spread
Most people infected with Shigella will experience diarrhea (which can be bloody and prolonged), fever and stomach pain, starting one or two days after exposure, according to the CDC. Some people do not have any signs of illness, however.
Symptoms typically last for five to seven days, but some people may experience prolonged sickness for several weeks.

In rare cases, infected patients may develop complications such as reactive arthritis, bloodstream infections, seizures or hemolytic-uremic syndrome, which involves damage to blood vessels in the kidneys.
Shigella germs spread easily through an infected person’s stool. People can become infected if they get Shigella germs on their hands and then touch their food or mouth, according to the CDC.

This can happen changing the diaper of an infected child or caring for someone with the illness.
Touching contaminated surfaces can also increase the risk.

Eating raw food or contaminated produce can also lead to infection, as can swallowing recreational water containing the germ.
Young children, travelers, gay or bisexual men, and those with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk of contracting Shigella, the CDC cautioned.
Prevention tips
To reduce the risk of contracting Shigella, experts recommend carefully washing your hands with soap and water after activities that could cause exposure.
It is also important to avoid swallowing water from lakes, ponds or pools, and to follow safe food and water habits while traveling, per the CDC.

Mascherano quits as Inter Miami coach, 4 months after MLS title
MIAMI — Javier Mascherano has quit as Inter Miami CF head coach, just four months after guiding the club to its first MLS Cup title.
Miami said in a statement Tuesday that the Argentine coach had stepped down for “personal reasons.”

– Messi denied late, Miami still winless at new home
The club said that Guillermo Hoyos will take over as head coach of the first team for “the upcoming matches,” moving over from his current role of sporting director.
“I want to let everyone know that, for personal reasons, I have decided to end my tenure as head coach of Inter Miami CF,” Mascherano said in a statement.
“First and foremost, I would like to thank the Club for the trust they placed in me, every employee who is part of the organization for the collective effort, but especially the players, who made it possible for us to experience unforgettable moments.”
Mascherano, a former teammate of Miami star Lionel Messi with Argentina and Barcelona, spent almost a year and a half at the helm after replacing Gerardo “Tata” Martino in November 2024.
The former Argentina under-20 coach led Inter Miami to the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal, the Leagues Cup final and made history when lifting MLS Cup during his first year with the club in 2025.
Miami currently sits thirds in the Eastern Conference after seven games of the 2026 season but exited the Concacaf Champions Cup to Nashville SC.
The move comes not even two weeks after Inter Miami opened its new stadium near Miami International Airport. The club has tied both of its first two matches in the new facility.
“Javier will forever be part of this Club’s history and will always hold a special place in the Inter Miami CF family,” Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas said. “Not only for being a key part of unforgettable achievements, such as winning the MLS Cup and the team’s historic performance at the Club World Cup, but also for the example he set through his dedication and daily work leading the team.
“We respect his decision and are deeply grateful for everything he contributed, wishing him nothing but the very best in his professional and personal future.”
Hoyos now comes into the role after working as a coach and sporting director in leagues across the world including Liga MX and serving as Bolivia national team head coach. Chief soccer officer Alberto Marrero will assume Hoyos’ previous responsibilities as sporting director of the club.

Barnea made the remark during a Holocaust commemoration event, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“We meticulously planned so that our operations would continue and manifest themselves even in the period following the strikes in Tehran,” Barnea reportedly said. “Our commitment will be fulfilled only once the extremist regime in Iran is replaced.”
“Forty days of intense combat have led to highly significant achievements, foremost among them a blow to the enemy’s central objective — the destruction of the State of Israel,” Barnea added, according to Ynetnews. “However, our mission has not yet been completed.”

Sergio Garcia apologises for smashing driver at Masters
Former Masters champion Sergio Garcia has apologised after smashing his driver in anger during the final round at Augusta on Sunday.
Paired with fellow Spaniard Jon Rahm, Garcia slammed his club into the turf twice after hitting a shot that ended up in a bunker on the par-five second hole.
The 2017 champion then hit a nearby cooler, which snapped the head off his club.
“I want to apologise for my actions on Sunday at the Masters tournament,” Garcia said in a statement posted on X., external
“I respect and value everything that the Masters and Augusta National Golf Club is to golf.
“I regret the way I acted and it has no place in our game. It doesn’t reflect the respect and appreciation I have for the Masters, the patrons, tournament officials and golf fans around the world.”
Because the club was damaged out of anger, Garcia was unable to replace it, leaving him without a driver for the rest of the round.
Geoff Yang, chairman of the Masters competitions committee, issued a code-of-conduct warning to Garcia on the fourth tee.
The Spaniard went on to post a three-over-par 75 to finish the week at eight over, third from last among the 54 players who made the cut.
When asked after his round what the issue was, the 46-year-old said: “Bad golf.”
The tournament was won by Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, who became only the fourth man to win successive Masters titles.

Why your home Wi-Fi needs more than just a strong password
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
If you’ve locked down your home Wi-Fi with a strong password, you’re already ahead of the game. But here’s the reality: a password alone isn’t enough to keep your online activity private.
Most people think of Wi-Fi security as simply keeping strangers off their network. And while that matters, it’s only part of the picture. Even with a secure password, your internet activity can still be visible to others in ways you might not expect.
A Wi-Fi password keeps people out, but it does not hide what happens inside your connection.

DO YOU NEED A VPN AT HOME? HERE ARE 10 REASONS YOU DO
A strong Wi-Fi password can keep intruders off your network, but it does not stop others from seeing what you do online. A VPN adds encryption and helps protect your privacy. (trumzz/Getty Images)
Who can still see your data?
When you connect to the internet at home, your internet service provider (ISP) can see a surprising amount of what you do online. That can include the websites you visit, how long you spend on them and sometimes even more detailed activity.
In some cases, that data can be:
- Logged and stored
- Shared with third parties
- Used to build advertising profiles
And it’s not just your ISP. Websites, apps, big tech companies, governments and data brokers are constantly collecting information about your behavior, often without you realizing it. Think of it this way: your password locks the front door, but once your data leaves your house, it can still be exposed along the way. That’s where a VPN comes in.
How a VPN adds real privacy
A virtual private network (VPN) creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet. That means your data is scrambled before it leaves your home network, making it much harder for anyone to see what you’re doing online.
In addition, connecting to a VPN server gives you a new IP address, so your online activity can’t be easily traced back to you. This makes it harder for advertisers, social networks and scammers to construct behavioral profiles, which can be used to target you with things like phishing attacks.
With a VPN:
- Your browsing activity is hidden from your ISP
- Your IP address is masked, making tracking more difficult
- Your connection is encrypted, even on everyday home Wi-Fi

Many VPN services are popular for their speed, simplicity and overall feature sets. This becomes even more important if you ever use public Wi-Fi, where your data is far more exposed.
What does this mean in practice?
For starters, most VPN services are easy to use. They offer apps for nearly every device imaginable, including options that work directly with routers. These apps are straightforward to set up and configure.
Once running, a single click or tap is all it takes to change your virtual location, mask your IP address and encrypt your connection. High-speed servers mean they don’t fall into the trap of slowing you down. In many cases, using a VPN can even provide more consistent, reliable speeds.
With a more anonymous IP address, your ISP is also less able to throttle (cap) your connection speeds, as some providers do.
Setting up a VPN on your router protects every device in your home automatically, including smart TVs, gaming consoles and other connected devices.
Many VPN providers now go beyond basic protection and offer additional privacy tools. These can include password managers, email protection, identity monitoring and even private AI tools designed to keep your data more secure.
In short, it’s no longer just about securing your connection. It’s about protecting your entire digital footprint.
A smarter way to protect your home network
Your home Wi-Fi is the gateway to everything you do: online banking, shopping, working and staying connected. Relying on just a password is like locking your door but leaving the curtains wide open.
Adding a VPN gives you an extra layer of privacy that works quietly in the background while enhancing every corner of your digital life.
It’s about being prepared, sure. But it’s also about peace of mind.
5 SIMPLE TECH TIPS TO IMPROVE DIGITAL PRIVACY

Ways to protect your privacy beyond a password
- Use a VPN on your home network and public Wi-Fi
- Enable automatic updates on all your devices
- Use strong, unique passwords and consider a password manager
- Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever possible
- Limit app permissions and review privacy settings regularly

Kurt’s key takeaways
A strong password is a smart first step, but it only protects who gets onto your network, not what happens to your data after it leaves. Your internet activity still passes through systems designed to track, analyze and sometimes profit from it. Adding a VPN shifts the balance back in your favor by encrypting your connection and limiting how much others can see. It is a simple upgrade that turns basic security into real privacy, without changing how you use the internet day to day.
