Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria

In 2011, the NIH Clinical Center had a cluster of infections of a pathogen that tops the CDC's list of urgent threats: antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. This bacteria, which can cause bloodstream and other infections, has recently developed resistance to the class of antibiotics known as carbapenems. The outbreak at NIH started with a single infected patient who was discharged weeks before any other cases were detected. This story of antibiotic-resistant infections is becoming more common around the world, and is especially dangerous in hospitals. Dr. Julie Segre, a senior investigator at the National Human Genome Research Institute, will discuss how the outbreak was traced using state-of-the-art DNA sequencing.
The Elizabeth O. King Lecture is made possible by The New York Community Trust-The Audrey Rheinstrom and Anne Blevins Fund.

In the 1970s or 80s, they said bacterial antibiotic resistance was caused by the use of pesticides and herbicides in agriculture.

wow the field of microbiology is so interesting...thanks for putting this out there.

Can klebsielia become immune by other bacteria or other klebsielia pneumoniae found on endoscopes .

www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/hunting-the-nightmare-bacteria/ Scientists in this document do indicate that some bacterias do pass the resistance gene on to other bacteria.

That's possible

My dad have such that problem called klebsiella infection on upeer back spine area, doctor give the treatment of monocef antibiotics injections for 45days.still he have the problem on spine d5 to d7.plz any one give me the suggestion

[@deborahdean8867]

Infectious disease doctor.

I am doing my research on antibiotic resistance in India at masters level. I want to join your organisation. Help me out please.
