1. Superbugs By Lei Lv (David)

2. What is Antibiotic resistance ? Antibiotic resistance is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to survive exposure to an antibiotic. So, a bacterium with antibiotic resistance is a superbug. In other words, superbug has ability to survive from the attacking of antibiotics. http://www.usatoday.com/yourlife/health/me dical/2010-09-17-1Asuperbug17_ST_N.htm http://www.usatoday.com/yourlife/health/me dical/2010-09-17-1Asuperbug17_ST_N.htm There are many kinds of superbug.

3. MRSA Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are bacteria that can cause infections on the skin (such as cellulitis), on burned areas of the body, and around wounds where invasive devices like feeding tubes and catheters enter the body. The most possible place you are infected by MRSA is in hospitals.

4. MRSA MRSA can also infect the eyes, bones, heart, or blood. Unlike regular staph infections, MRSA is resistant to many commonly used antibiotics. It means it is hard to treat and the process is painful and expensive.

5. MRSA—Death Rate It has a high death rate. In 2005, 18,650 Death form MRSA in U.S. In 2005,16,000 Death form AIDS in U.S.

6. The way prevent MRSA There's no surefire way to prevent MRSA skin infections. 1) washing hands, when you back from hospitals. 2)do not misuse of antibiotics 3)clean your wounds, when you gets hurt. 4) and so on.

7. NDM-1 NDM-1 is a newly recognized mechanism of resistance that allows certain bacteria to become resistant to certain antibiotics. Bubonic plague, the 1918 flu pandemic and H1N1 could be nothing compared to the what antibiotic scoffing NDM-1 portends

8. NDM-1 NDM-1 represent New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase. It likes a flu in bacteria. A bacterium can get NDM-1 by simply touch a bacterium which is with NDM-1. Once a bacterium got NDM-1, it will have the ability to resist most of antibiotics. Moreover DNM-1 will transmit to its “children” and even other bacterial. The infection by those bacterial is hard to cure.

9. NDM-1 The NDM-1 enzyme was named after New Delhi, the capital city of India, as it was first described by Yong et al. in December 2009 in a Swedish national who fell ill with an antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection that he acquired in India. In May 2010, a case of infection with E. coli expressing NDM-1 was reported in Coventry in the United Kingdom. As of June 2010, there were three reported cases of Enterobacteriaceae isolates bearing this newly described resistance mechanism in the US, the CDC stated that "All three U.S. isolates were from patients who received recent medical care in India."

10. NDM-1 In August 2010, the first reported death due to a bacteria expressing the NDM-1 enzyme was recorded as a Belgian man who had become infected while being treated in a hospital in Pakistan. NDM-1 is extremely dangerous, all governments is taking steps to control this superbug spreading in worldwide. That is a fight we can not lose.
