Bacteria With Natural Antibiotic, Antimicrobial Resistance Discovered in Antarctica
Researchers from University of Chile found that the Pseudomonas bacteria, one of the predominant bacteria groups in the Antarctic Peninsula, can be a source of 'resistance genes'. These bacteria are said to carry natural antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance and have the potential to spread out of the polar regions.

Researchers Find Second 'Superbug' Gene In US Patient
Scientists have identified a second patient in the United States infected with bacteria carrying the mcr-1 "superbug" gene, which makes bacteria highly resistant to a last-resort class of antibiotics.
