It's antibiotic-resistant pneumonia, if you don't want to click.

So the same thing that's in most developed nations' hospitals?

don't know why you're getting downvoted, antibiotic resistant bugs are in almost every hospital now. what would make it newsworthy is if there were a new one or multidrug resistant.

[the] M. pneumoniae in China has mutated to a strain resistant to macrolides, the only class of antibiotics that are safe for children less than eight years of age.

Which would explain why it's going kids who are overwhelming the hospitals.
