Bottom line: this gene (dubbed the New Delhi metallo-s-lactamase 1 gene, NDM-1, for short) enables bacteria to resist virtually any and perhaps all antibiotics.
These multidrug-resistant bacteria have been found in public water supplies and urban effluent in New Delhi. But this isn't a problem limited to India. While researchers writing in the latest issue of the journal Lancet say the findings in India pose the worrisome possibility that NDM-1 is widespread in the environment of that country, there are plenty of reasons to be concerned the bacteria could be spreading to other parts of the planet.

I don't know anything about genes and superbugs, but after reading Dr Segura's article in the latest issue of The Dot Connector Magazine 'New Light on the Black Death: The Viral and Cosmic Connection', I couldn't help but wonder if this could be connected?
