5 Types Germs Which Immuneted from Antibiotics

excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in super germs that are difficult killed with drugs. Not only superbug found in India just recently, various types of super germs actually is all around us.

The newest is a super bacteria germs from India, New Delhi called Metallo-beta-lactamase or NDM-1. Bacteria resistant to antibiotics most potent carbapenem has since spread to Pakistan, even to have infected 50 people in the UK.

As quoted from the Telegraph, on Thursday (19/08/2010), NDM-1 is not the only germ which concern the microbiologists today. Several types of germs that also started to preexisting immune to antibiotics, including germs as follows.

1. Klebsiella
This bacterium is one cause
pneumonia which can kill victims within 72 hours. Usually found on open wounds or sores on fire and can lead to urinary tract or respiratory infections.

Currently, 11 percent had Klebsiella infection resistant to all types of antibiotics, even though the rest still can be overcome with a carbapenem.

2. Pseudomonas
These bacteria live in soil and attack the weakened immune individuals. About 80 percent of lung infections caused by bacteria ayng this occurs in people with burns and cystic fibrosis.

That is a concern to experts is the number of infection is increased by 24 percent during the period 2004-2008. Besides quantity, resistance to antibiotic drugs is also increasing.

3. Escherichia coli
Causes of urinary tract infections and digestive bacteria is one of the difficult disabled. These bacteria produce an enzyme, which makes it continues to adjust to the antibiotic.

4. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
One of the dreaded bacteria experts are good at mutating. In addition to the type of MRSA found in hospitals, there are also species found outside of hospitals or well known as a 'community MRSA' and so vicious because it can eat the lung tissue.

5. Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Male sex workers and johns certainly familiar with the disease of gonorrhea, caused by this bacterium. Can not be underestimated because the number of infections are not cured with antibiotics ciprofloxacyn increasing from 2 percent in 2002 to 30 percent this year.

Immunities of the bacteria that causes gonorrhea is likely to continue to rise, given its treatment among sex workers (who usually rely on tetracycline-HCl) is often not controlled by medical personnel.
