NDM-1

NDM-1

New Dehli metallo-beta-lactamase 1. A recently-identified gene mutation which is responsible for a new class of drug-resistant superbacteria (”superbugs”). First isolated from medical tourists who had returned to Great Britain after having plastic surgery in India or Pakistan, the NDM-1 mutation has been identified in bacteria (e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae and E. coli) in patients in Australia, Britain, Canada and the US, and has been associated with urinary tract infections, bacteraemia and pneumonia. It is resistant to virtually all antibiotics.

Carbapenem group of antibiotics is one of the most effective drugs that has been used as a last remedy for the treatment of infections caused by Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) Gram negative bacilli.1 To neutralize the drugs, such NDM-1 producing bacteria encode various carbapenemases which are [beta]-lactamases, having the ability to hydrolyze majority of [beta]-lactams including carbapenems.2 Irrational use of antimicrobials give birth to resistance by increasing selective pressure in the bacterial population.

La emergencia en 2007 de la carbapenemasa descrita mas recientemente, denominada New Delhi Metalo-[beta]-lactamasa 1 (NDM-1), constituye un problema medico critico, ya que esta enzima compromete la eficacia de casi todos los antibioticos [beta]-lactamicos y desde entonces, los CPO productores de NDM han sido identificados alrededor del mundo y descritos como endemicos en India, la peninsula de Balkan y el medio oriente (1).
