Super bacteria reached their advance on Japan: In Japan `s now also resistant super bacteria were detected. NDM-1 was discovered in a man who had been in India for treatment, said a spokesman of the Japanese Ministry of Health.

The man was in April last year, treated at a hospital in Tokyo. A blood sample was examined again this year, after it had reported in August, the British journal "Lancet" on NDM-1. The gene NDM-1 (New Delhi-Metallo-beta-lactamase) makes bacteria resistant to almost all known antibiotics.

Recently, the new resistant bacteria had reached Austria. In two patients of the University of Graz has been demonstrated NDM-1. Both patients had been infected by recent findings in the foreign country with the bacterial strains, they said.

The NDM-1 gene can easily jump from one bacterium to another and makes the bacteria so resistant to conventional antibiotics. Researchers preparing this concern, as the development of effective drugs is likely to last years. The bacterium is actually from South Asia, has been discovered in recent weeks but also in humans in Europe. In Belgium, died in mid-August, a man from Pakistan to an infection with the bacterium Super.
