Another low life conspiracy by west,to defame booming India.

Contending that the report of a superbug from India could be a "sinister design" of foreign multinational companies, senior Bharatiya Janata Party member S S Ahluwalia on Thursday said the government should make a record of infections and antibiotics required for treatment. According
to a report in a British scientific journal, a new superbug had been detected in about 37 cases in Britain, mainly among patients who had travelled to India and Pakistan for cosmetic surgery, cancer treatment and transplants.

Scientists have warned that the superbug -- an enzyme they have called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 or NDM-1 -- could spread worldwide because it is resistant to almost all antibiotics and nothing has been developed to combat it.

Ahluwalia said in a calling attention motion in the Rajya Sabha that the timing of the article was suspicious as it came when India is emerging as a global power in medical tourism.

"It may be a sinister design of multinational companies around the world," he said, adding that with globalisation, it was not just populations that were migrating, but also virus and bacteria.

But Ahluwalia, who is deputy leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha, also wanted the government to do its bit.

"When we are emerging as a destination of medical tourism, we must come out with a registry that will record infections when they are detected in hospitals, and also antibiotics for their treatment," Ahluwalia said.

He also quoted Indian Council of Medical Research head V M Katoch who said in a media report that India currently does not have any rules or registry to record hospital-acquired infections.

Minister of State for Science and Technology and Parliamentary Affairs Prithviraj Chavan said he will get back to parliament on the matter "after consulting with the health ministry and department of biotechnology".

UK is literally a hot bed for MDR nosocomial infections. Go check hospitals run by NHS and you will know what I am talking about. And they want to blame India for their incompetence? Ha, funny Brits!

Scientists have warned that the superbug -- an enzyme they have called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 or NDM-1 -- could spread worldwide because it is resistant to almost all antibiotics and nothing has been developed to combat it.

BS. That enzyme belongs to a class of enzymes which catalyze beta-lactam class of antibiotics only! The only antibiotics which are rendered ineffective by this enzyme are the Penicillins, Cephalosporins and a newer class of Beta-lactams - the Carbapenums!

 

[somebozo]

Let us ignore these loud mouth brits..they might be thinking to colonise India 2nd time by offering to research superbug. ha ha ha

 

[!!craft!!]

hows is this related to indian defence ??? maybe a super bug missiles ehh..

India rejects UK scientists' 'superbug' claim​

By Geeta Pandey
BBC News, Delhi

India has rejected a claim by British scientists that a new superbug, resistant to even the most powerful antibiotics, has entered UK from India.

The health ministry said it was unfair to link the bug to India and officials described it as "malicious propaganda".

Several Indian MPs raised the issue in parliament, calling it a conspiracy.

Scientists say patients who went to India and Pakistan for treatments such as cosmetic surgery have come back with bacteria that make NDM-1 enzyme.

Health experts say NDM-1 can exist inside different bacteria, like E.coli, and it makes them resistant to most antibiotics.


About 50 cases have been identified in the UK so far, but scientists said it could spread globally, medical publication Lancet Infectious Diseases said.

The Indian health ministry has described the report as "sensational".

An official told the BBC it was "unfair" to link the bug to India and create a scare.

The "plasmid", associated with drug resistance to antibiotics, is present "in the environment, may be in the intestines of humans and animals universally", the health ministry said in a press release.

'Wrong propaganda'
Officials said a person could become infected with the drug-resistant bacteria anywhere in the world and it was "preventable by sound infection-prevention strategies which are followed in any good hospital".

"We strongly refute the naming of this enzyme as New Delhi metallo beta lactamase," the ministry said.

"We also refute that hospitals in India are not safe for treatment, including medical tourism," it added.

The issue was also raised in India's parliament, with angry MPs questioning the Lancet study, saying it was funded by pharmaceutical multi-national companies.

"When India is emerging as a medical tourism destination, this type of news is unfortunate and may be a sinister design of multi-national companies," MP SS Ahluwalia of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party said.

Congress party's Jayanthi Natarajan said the report of the superbug was a "wrong propaganda against the country".

Indian medical tourism industry is growing rapidly and is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Yes, this will definitely affect medical tourism in India.

GoI must pursue to ensure that NDM is renamed.

Are you a doctor?

 

[VAJRA]

Are you a doctor?

I don't know if he is one but are you so sure on the findings yourself? or is it that are you a doctor that you know for sure?

The superbug - is bacteria that mutates and forms different strains - Bacterias form strains when they fight anti biotics and some of them are so good at it that they fight almost anything that is thrown at them.

So if you have read some science - the logic is:

A simple bacteria >> treated with anti-biotics >> forms a strain to nullify the effect >> treated with more anti biotics >> again forms a strain >> the cycle goes on till you exhaust allmost all known anti biotics >>> THE SUPERBUG

The point by the end of it is - that it is more likely for it to develop from the "WESTERN/DEVELOPED countries" than India cos Indian consumption of anti-biotics is peanuts when compared to the WEST as there is not enough purchasing power for many to buy the medicines in huge quantities unlike the in the WEST.

SO THE POINT IS - Today India provides world class or even better medical treatment and facilities to patients from all over the world at much less price! and SO THE SO CALLED SUPER BUG NONSENSE COS THE WESTERN MEDICAL FACILITIES ARE JUST BIG FAT WHITE ELEPHANTS WITH NOT SO BRIGHT IVORY!

beta lactamase producing bacteria are nothing new......they ar already common and spreading fast.....foe britain to level such a claim that a new resistant lactamase has been found is just silly.........

and beta lactamase is an enzyme that breaks down beta-lactam antibiotics( like penicilin and its group that have a beta lactam ring in their structure.)breaking this structure by the bacterial enzyme renders this drug ineffective. hence the pencilin group of drugs would eventually become obsolete.staphylococcus aureous is the most common bacteria is multi-drug resistance mainly as a result of beta-lactamase production. however production of the enzyme is not the only mechanism by which a bacteria becomes resistant to a drug ...other adaptations like changing the receptor protein on the cell wall or by producing an an altered protein that does not react with the drug or by active drug removal from the cell(i.e the bacteria excreats the drug out of the cell when the drug enters it). so blaming india is without sence when britain itself has higher antibiotic usage .

drug resistance actually boomed because of the american cattle breeders-where they used the left over cells of antibiotic production as a cattle feed(this left overs contain mild quantities of the antibiotic).this cattle feed was widely used because they found that it made the animals plump at a very early age(i.e animals produced more meat and also matured faster)bacteria develop resistance to a drug when it comes in contact with the drug in mild doses that it can withstand-then it figures out the drug and develops a suitable method of resistance. since the cattle were fed with a feed that contained mild doses of antibiotic bacteria in the cattle developed resistance. when the animals were consumed by humans -the mild dosage of antibiotics was also consumed and as a result the bacteria affecting in humans also started developing resistance. when this type of bacteria developing resistance was found out it was already late . any way now the antibiotic-leftovers have been banned as cattle feed .

Did any scientific body confirmed or refuted this news..........

brits are racist when even swine flu was called h1n1 virus how can they name a virus after New Delhi.

Then why don't they also name AIDS as US.
