Superbug
The Globe and Mail reported that we are about to expect another outbreak of a bug described as NDM-1 also known as the ``super bug``. It is believed that the superbug originated from India or Pakistan. The UK has already reported numerous people infected with the superbug. The Globe and Mail reported that two Canadians have been infected.
The bug is described as a superbug because it is resistant to all forms of antibiotics.
Health officials describe the situation as alarming.
The Globe and Mail reported:
NDM-1 is an enzyme that is produced by bacteria that renders most antibiotics inactive. It is commonly harboured in E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. People infected with NDM-1-producing bacteria often contract urinary-tract infections, pneumonia or blood infections.
