new superbug ndm-1 bacteria resistant to antibiotics from india?

well i was watching the news and there is this new superbug bacteria from india that might start to make a rampage across the uk and hospitals, this new superbug is said to be worse then mrsa.

this superbug bacteria with a ndm-1 resistant gene that can make it resistant to most forms of antibiotics could be a big problem to patients and hospitals.

people who have been to india for treatment need to be screened for this infection also.

this might also be a problem come winter 2010 and into 2011.
