[Arms racing between human beings and pathogens: NDM-1 and superbugs].

Sheng wu gong cheng xue bao = Chinese journal of biotechnology - 1 Nov 2010

Abstract excerpt

Throughout human history, pandemic bacterial diseases such as the plague and tuberculosis have posed an enormous threat to human beings. The discovery of antibiotics has provided us with powerful arsenal for the defense against bacterial infections. However, bacteria are acquiring more and more resistance genes to shield off antibiotics through mutation and horizontal gene transfer. Therefore, novel antibiotics...
