In fact, this super virus is called New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase, or NDM- 1 virus for short. This new type of bacteria is resistant to almost all antibiotics and has a high mortality rate. The British Ministry of Health announced that Britain has begun to discuss ways to develop new antibiotics, but scientists suggested that there may not be any new antibiotics effective for NDM- 1 within 10 years, but washing hands frequently can effectively prevent its spread. Walsh said: "We urgently need a global monitoring system and new antibiotics for this bacteria." He pointed out that at present, only two antibiotics have certain effects on viruses carrying NDM- 1, but these viruses may soon become resistant to these two antibiotics. Scientists pointed out that in order to prevent the spread of NDM- 1, it is necessary to identify the infected cases of NDM- 1 as soon as possible and isolate any infected persons. Other infection control measures, such as disinfecting hospital equipment and washing hands with antibacterial soap by doctors and nurses, can also prevent the spread of NDM- 1. Peter Taut, a scholar at the University of Calgary in Canada, called on foreigners who had been treated in Indian hospitals to go to the hospital for screening after returning home. Livermore, an expert from the British Health Protection Agency, called on patients, visitors and medical staff in all hospitals to wash their hands frequently to prevent the spread of NDM- 1. New Delhi metallo-β -lactamase (NDM- 1 for short) is an antibiotic, which can not only make bacteria resistant to N-tigecycline (en) and clindamycin (en: colistin), but also make bacteria resistant to carbapenem (en) and other widely effective antibiotics. Even for some patients, all antibiotics are ineffective, so when 20 10 was found, the bacteria carrying this gene were called "superbacteria" in news reports. It can produce a β -lactamase called carbapenemase. At present, no drugs specifically targeting NDM- 1 have been developed. Up to now, it has been found that some strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli carry the gene, but the gene can be transferred from one strain to another by horizontal gene transfer. The study was jointly conducted by medical researchers from Cardiff University, British Health Protection Agency and Indian university of madras. The researchers said that they found a special kind of bacteria in some patients who went to India for surgery. This bacterium contains a plasmid, which can exist in the mitochondria of different bacterial DNA structures such as Escherichia coli and make these bacteria strong and resistant to almost all antibiotics. Last year, Timothy Walsh, a researcher at Cardiff University, first confirmed the existence of this enzyme in Escherichia coli and pneumonia infected by a Swedish patient, and named it NDM- 1. The Ministry of Health of India issued a statement on August 20th10 and 12, strongly opposing some western media to link a new disease with India, saying that India is not threatened by any such disease at present, and all foreign tourists seeking medical treatment in india tourism are very safe. The Indian Ministry of Health said in a statement on August 2, 20 10 that it is very wrong and unfair for some western media to link this unexplained disease with India only by incomplete case reports. India is particularly opposed to naming the disease after the Indian capital New Delhi. The statement said that medical institutions in India have always provided good treatment and nursing conditions for foreign tourists who come to India for medical tourism. At present, India is not threatened by this emerging disease at all, and it is absolutely safe to treat it in india tourism and hospitals in India. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has strong drug resistance. The production of metalloβ -lactamases is the main reason for the resistance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to broad-spectrum cephalosporins including imipenem. The mechanism of metalloenzymes is complex, and no corresponding inhibitors are put into use, which has become a very difficult problem in clinical anti-infection treatment. [Edit this paragraph] Infectious diseases 20 10 On August 2, Kadush, director of the Medical Research Bureau of the Indian Ministry of Health, told reporters in New Delhi that it was completely wrong for some western media to associate an infectious disease with India. Kadush said that it is irresponsible for some western medical scientists to arbitrarily assume that a new disease originated in India before finding out the truth. Because this case occurred in several countries at the same time, it is also possible that western tourists brought the virus into India from other places. Kadush said that at present, Indian medical institutions are also making every effort to study the disease and try to understand the transmission mechanism of the virus. He also hinted that these reports were politically motivated and deliberately created by those who were dissatisfied with the large number of westerners going to India for medical travel. Washing hands frequently can effectively prevent ndm- 1. Recently, the British Ministry of Health announced that Britain has begun to discuss ways to develop new antibiotics, but scientists have suggested that there may not be any new antibiotics effective for NDM- 1 in/kloc-0 years, but frequent hand washing can effectively prevent its spread. Walsh said: "We urgently need a global monitoring system and new antibiotics for this bacteria." He pointed out that at present, only two antibiotics have certain effects on viruses carrying NDM- 1, but these viruses may soon become resistant to these two antibiotics. Scientists pointed out that in order to prevent the spread of NDM- 1, it is necessary to identify the infected cases of NDM- 1 as soon as possible and isolate any infected persons. Other infection control measures, such as disinfecting hospital equipment and washing hands with antibacterial soap by doctors and nurses, can also prevent the spread of NDM- 1. Peter Taut, a scholar at the University of Calgary in Canada, called on foreigners who had been treated in Indian hospitals to go to the hospital for screening after returning home. Livermore, an expert from the British Health Protection Agency, called on patients, visitors and medical staff in all hospitals to wash their hands frequently to prevent the spread of NDM- 1. How bad would it be? Experts predict that "super bacteria" will not be very fierce. Will "superbugs" like SARS or H 1N 1 NDM- 1 spread around the world and cause panic? In this regard, He Jianfeng personally think not. "Drug resistance does not appear in a day or two, and drug-resistant bacteria are not the first time. For example, multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus appeared a few years ago and did not cause global panic. " He Jianfeng said. In addition, He Jianfeng said that although there is no specific method to prevent "superbug" NDM- 1, he said it is necessary to do personal hygiene protection such as washing hands frequently. [Edit this paragraph] Superviruses are likely to spread all over the world. 170 people are infected with a new superbug from India, which may spread all over the world. Scientists say that there are almost no drugs to deal with this bug at present. On Wednesday (1 1), researchers said that they had discovered a new gene supervirus named New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM- 1) among patients in South Asia and Britain. US health officials said on Wednesday that there are currently three cases of supervirus in the United States, and all the patients infected by supervirus have recently received treatment in India. In India, people often go to many places to find cheaper medical services. NDM- 1 can make bacteria highly resistant to almost all antibiotics. Experts say that there is no new drug to overcome this bacteria. Timothy Walsh, the head of the study, said that as people seek cheaper medical services, especially cosmetic surgery services, he is worried that this superbug will soon spread all over the world. This newly discovered superbug, named Thiaminase B, lives in Escherichia coli and is the main cause of urinary tract infection. This pathogen is easy to replicate and can be transferred to other pathogens. It is reported that two people have been infected in Canada, and both of them have a history of traveling to South Asia or receiving plastic surgery in India. After comprehensive treatment with various antibiotics, it has recovered, but no one knows whether it will recur. At present, 170 people have been infected in the world, mainly in India and Britain, and there are cases in other European countries and the United States. It is reported that superbugs may spread around the world. China Daily News According to the US media report on August 12, a new bacterial mutant gene in Indian, Pakistani and other South Asian countries may spread around the world, and bacteria with this gene are resistant to almost all antibiotics. It is reported that this mutant gene has spread to Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and other countries. Medical experts in the field of antibiotic resistance named this mutant gene NDM- 1, which first appeared in South Asian countries such as India and Pakistan. Later, many British and American tourists went to these South Asian countries for low-cost plastic surgery, which made this gene spread. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found three cases of this disease in the United States from June to June this year, and advised doctors to pay special attention to patients who had undergone surgery in South Asia. Medical experts are "worried" about the appearance of NDM- 1, fearing that it will spread all over the world. However, some medical experts are optimistic. They believe that although there are many kinds of bacteria resistant to antibiotics in the world, none of them can really become "superbugs" and "carnivorous bacteria". The person in charge of Langone Medical Center of new york University said: "These antibiotic-resistant bacteria are undoubtedly harmful, but are NDM- 1 superbugs more worrying than MRSA? It is still too early to judge. " MRSA is a bacterium that can resist all antibiotics and drugs. It can infect wounds and bedsores, cause various infections and kill people with weak immunity. MRSA is one of the most important multidrug-resistant bacteria in clinical monitoring. [Edit this paragraph] Case According to Hong Kong Sing Tao Daily, NDM- 1, a superbug that recently killed at least five people in Britain and invaded North America, is resistant to most antibiotics, and there is no cure after infection. Hong Kong Department of Health 12 announced on the evening that the first case of NDM- 1 infection occurred in Hong Kong as early as last year 10. When a 66-year-old Indian man visited the general outpatient department of the Hospital Authority last year, his urine sample was found to contain NDM- 1 Escherichia coli. The department pointed out that it attaches great importance to relevant reports in Britain and will follow up with WHO, British and American health authorities, as well as contact with hospital laboratories to make arrangements for strengthening the monitoring of NDM- 1. Western medical experts recently published an article in Needle, saying that bacteria containing New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM- 1 for short) have multiple drug resistance and are resistant to almost all antibiotics. There have been at least 50 cases in Britain, and 5 people died after infection; There are at least three cases in the United States; Canada recorded a case in February this year. Most of these patients went to India for surgical treatment or plastic surgery. India has recorded more than 100 cases, and Pakistan and Bangladesh have also experienced infection cases. The first case in Hong Kong was a 66-year-old Indian man. It is reported that he has traveled abroad. The test results of public health laboratory service showed that his urine sample contained Escherichia coli NDM- 1, but the strain was sensitive to oral antibiotics commonly used to treat urinary tract infections, and the patient was cured. According to the Center for Health Protection, NDM- 1 is an enzyme that can make some kinds of antibiotics ineffective, such as hydrocarbons and caprolactam antibiotics, thus causing widespread drug resistance of bacteria containing this enzyme. Last night, the Department of Health did not supplement other clinical data on whether the elderly had been to South Asia for surgery or tourism. [Edit this paragraph] The dispute over the naming of germs. The Indian Ministry of Health recently issued a statement strongly opposing some Western media to link a new disease with India, saying that India is not threatened by any such disease at present, and all foreign tourists seeking medical treatment in india tourism are very safe. The Indian Ministry of Health said in a statement that it is very wrong and unfair for some western media to link this unexplained disease with India only by incomplete case reports.

He also hinted that these reports were politically motivated and deliberately created by those who were dissatisfied with the large number of westerners going to India for medical travel. According to the British magazine The Lancet-Infectious Diseases, a new unexplained disease is prevalent in some countries. Some western medical scientists call this disease "New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase", or NDM- 1 for short. Because many patients have traveled and received treatment in India or Pakistan, the researchers speculate that the bacteria carrying NDM- 1 may have originated in the Indian subcontinent. It is reported that the disease can be spread through drinking water and other ways, and the symptoms are intestinal infection. This new type of bacteria is resistant to almost all antibiotics and has a high mortality rate.
