Is there a methicillin resistant pneumococcus bacteria?


Question:
I have heard that there is a "superbug" mostly in the hospitals that is very fast-acting and highly nectotic. I know it's antibiotic resistant and I believe it's a pneumococcal bacteria - possibly Klebsiella pneumoniae but I'm not sure.
This bacteria would be a pandemic disaster if it got loose into the comunity which is inevitab;e. I was just curious if anyone knew what this bacteria was actually called and if there is any more information about it. I seem to be at a dead end with my own research.

Answers:
