In one of the Malaysian hospitals, scientists have discovered a new strain of bacteria, which is highly resistant to antibiotics. This was reported by Mirror. According to researchers, the microorganism is capable of causing serious infections, influencing different organs, including the respiratory system.
The danger of bacterium is that standard treatments against it are ineffective. This poses a potential threat to patients around the world. The international team of scientists led by David Clirie, a doctor at the University of Birmingham, analyzed the spread of a dangerous pathogen and its impact on the human body.
According to a study published in the magazine Microbial Genomics, this type of bacteria is especially common in medical institutions. Infection may occur through contaminated surfaces or medical instruments.
The key to the fight against this strike is the monitoring of its dissemination and the development of new therapeutic strategies, Kleiri said. The scientist notes that the average income countries are in the most danger, where access to advanced diagnosis and treatment methods is limited. In this regard, the development of effective methods of detection and control of infection becomes a priority for the world medical community.
