New Delhi Metallo 1

In a study on a group of bacteria called Enterobacteriaceae (commonly found in the gut), researchers claim that resistance to carbapenems conferred by NDM-1 is a potential major global health problem.

Researchers in Britain have identified a new superbug gene named New Delhi Metallo 1 (NDM1) prevalent in India that could spread widely in the UK, raising fears that it could lead to a surge in antibiotic resistance. The gene alters bacteria making them resistant to nearly all known antibiotics. "A new type of resistance has emerged in India, this ...
