Superbug Ndm-1

Authorities in Tuscany, home to some of Italy's most visited tourist attractions, have stepped up hospital controls after a deadly outbreak of the superbug that first surfaced in Delhi.

A new gene that makes bacteria highly resistant to a last-resort class of antibiotics has been found in people and pigs in China - including in samples of bacteria with epidemic potential, researchers said on Wednesday.

A new variant of a superbug has been accidentally discovered by researchers at the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), an expert said.

Even though it has been named after New Delhi, the question that is doing the rounds for long is, did the superbug really originate in India? The claims made in the study don't stand up to scrutiny. Also, the one of the authors of the Lancet report, Karthikeyan Kumaraswamy has distanced himself from the findings.When asked if he is satisfied with t...

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.
