New biochemistry research indicates that resistance to an entire class of antibiotics called aminoglycosides has the potential to spread to many types of bacteria. A mobile gene called NpmA was discovered in iE. coli/i bacteria isolated from a Japanese patient several years ago. Global spread of NpmA and related antibiotic resistance enzymes could disable an entire class of tools doctors use to fight serious or life-threatening infections. Using ...Tuesday 8 April 2014
