Superbug

It is reported that there is a new gene of superbugs (new bacteria-NDM-1) which was found in India. Because it can resist various antibiotic, researchers and medical people cannot find out the exact therapy to cure those people who suffer from it. Furthermore, a crisis is worried by some experts, for some Americans and European travel to these area where this new bacteria was found out. Meanwhile, travelers probably bring it back to their countries. It is lurking. On the other hand, WHO has already noticed its seriousness. It appeal to each country for caring four parts which include surveillance, rational antibiotic use, legislation to stop the sale of antibiotics without prescription and rigorous infection prevention measures. First, surveillance, each country need to keep watching any symptom which resembles to this new bacteria in order to prevent it from spreading. If finding out any case and syndrome is like it, authorities have to quarantine patients immediately. Second, because this new bacteria can trigger some symptoms which doctors could mistake in diagnosis and offer erroneous antibiotic drugs, these could help this new bacteria to alter. When doctors find out the reason, it is too late. Third, as same as the way of use, if people who suffer from it just directly go to buy the medicines, it causes the same situation. Last but not the least, government need to inform people of the existence of this new superbug and remind people of doing some prevention measures, such as hand-washing, personal hygiene and so on.
