The celestial rise in antibiotic resistance among Gram-negative bacteria has challenged both the scientific and pharmaceutical sectors. The hallmark of this general increase is the unbridled dissemination of carbapenem resistance genes, namely KPC, OXA and metallo-β-lactamase variants. In particular, the media attention given to the NDM-1 metallo-β-lactamase has highlighted the global consequences of human behaviour on spreading antibiotic resistance.
革兰氏阴性菌对抗生素耐药性的普遍上升,给科学界和制药业都带来了挑战。这种普遍上升的标志是碳青霉烯类耐药基因(如 KPC、OXA 和金属β-内酰胺酶变体)的无节制传播。特别是,媒体对 NDM-1 金属β-内酰胺酶的关注,突显了人类行为对传播抗生素耐药性的全球性影响。
