NDM

At least one of the NDM-1 infections the researchers analysed was resistant to all known antibiotics.

The findings showed patients in the Indian subcontinent had a significant presence of a gene called NDM-1.

And currently, most of the bacteria carrying NDM-1 have been treatable using a combination of different antibiotics.

International travel and medical tourism have already brought the gene, known as NDM-1, to the UK.

NDM-1 isn't a single microorganism, but rather an enzyme able to chew through most antibiotics.

They found the NDM-1 bacteria present in two of fifty drinking water samples.

Many of the UK NDM-1 positive patients had travelled to India or Pakistan within the past year, or had links with these countries.

"NDM-1" , or New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase, was first identified in a Swedish patient who had returned from New Delhi in 2008.

The researchers also reported finding NDM-1 in bacteria from medical patients.

The NDM-1 is a gene that produces an enzyme that deactivate basically all antibiotics.

For example, scientists have determined that the NDM gene "is very mobile, hopping from one bacteria to another, " he said.

The way to stop NDM-1, say researchers, is to rapidly identify and isolate any hospital patients who are infected.

In the example, a new model is created called Glossary Model. ndm.

Within RDA, define a glossary model (. ndm).

Health experts say NDM-1 can exist inside different bacteria, like E. coli, and it makes them resistant to most antibiotics.

The bacteria, which make an enzyme called NDM-1, traveled back with patients who had gone to India and Pakistan for cosmetic surgery.

New resistance mechanisms, such as the beta-lactamase NDM-1, have emerged among several gram-negative bacilli.

According to reports, the new superbug NDM-1 which has strong drugfastness and may spread worldwide has been discovered in South Asia.

U. S. hospitals also documented their first NDM-1 strains in 2010.

The United States government reported the presence of NDM-1 in three people last year.

The file will have a generated name with an . ndm extension, for example, lTon_1289524238643. ndm.

metallo-beta-lactamase, or NDM-1. The gene is dangerous because it can make bacteria resistant to antibiotic drugs.
