New resistant bacteria
by Milota Sidorova
From time to time a new types of bacteria or virus appear in this world, showing great resistence to any kind of drug or chemical restraint. Recently American media reported appearence of infectious bacteria spreading from India. The genetic information of bacteria should be strong enough to ignore „nearly all antibiotcs“. So far three Americans have been infected, we know about two Canadian cases and according to British medical journal revealing risk last month, dozens of people who had traveled to India were threatened. All people showed similar signs of diseases – having gut and urinary problems. Another similarity is that the disease is spreading via ! hand-mouth contact so hygiene plays a crucial role. According official information three Americans were not related – one Californian woman had a car accident, then there was a man from Illinois who travelled around the country and Indian woman who has been held in Massachusetts recently passed surgery and chemotherapy. Germs are resistable to most of common antibiotics that logically increases pressures on drug companies to develop new one. So fare there were no exact numbers of death cases and at least between Americans all patients survived. International health organizations didn´t release any warning, but the situation may change. But still, international community may be careful, since a recent warning of swine flu became a media buble and an excuse for drug companies to sell millions and millions of unnecessary injections. For now we have to wait to see whether this bacteria turns out to be a serious problem or another hoax.
