Abstract

Globally emerging antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli present increasing challenges to community transmission of infection. Recently, New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) was identified; this enzyme makes bacteria resistant to most beta-lactam antibiotics which are used to treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.
