Excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in super germs are difficult to kill with drugs. Not only superbug found in India only recently, various types of super germs actually is all around us.
The latest is super germs from India, called the New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase or NDM-1. Bacteria that are resistant to carbapenem antibiotics strongest it has spread to Pakistan, even to have infected 50 people in the UK.
As quoted from the Telegraph, NDM-1 is not the only germs that are of concern to the microbiology expert at this time. Several types of pre-existing germs began to be immune to antibiotics, including germs as follows.
1. Klebsiella
This bacterium is one of the causes of pneumonia that can kill its victims in just 72 hours. Usually found in open wounds and burns and can lead to urinary tract or respiratory infections.
Currently, 11 percent had Klebsiella infection resistant to all types of antibiotics can still be resolved even though the rest of the carbapenem.
2. Pseudomonas
These bacteria live in soil and attack the weakened immune individuals. About 80 percent of lung infections caused by bacteria ayng occurs in patients with burns and cystic fibrosis.
The concern of the expert is the amount of infection increased 24 percent during the period 2004-2008. In addition to the amount, resistance to antibiotic drugs is also increasing.
3. Escherichia coli
Cause of urinary tract infections and digestive bacteria is one of the hard shut down. These bacteria produce an enzyme, which makes it continues to adjust to the antibiotic.
4. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
One of the dreaded bacterial experts are good at mutating. In addition to types of MRSA found in hospitals, there are also species that are found outside the hospital, otherwise known as 'community MRSA' and so vicious because it can take lung tissue.
5. Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Male sex workers and johns must be familiar with the disease gonorrhea, which is caused by bacteria. Can not be underestimated because the number of infections are not cured with antibiotics ciprofloxacyn increased steadily from 2 percent in 2002 to 30 percent this year.
