The so-called “superbug” is not the newest, nor is it a bacterium, but a special enzyme that is resistant to drugs but not so resistant that it can spread worldwide and can be treated. It is indeed drug-resistant, but not so much as to be globally widespread and treatable, and the bacteria containing the enzyme are only transmitted in the medical process, and are not dangerous in ordinary life. (A drug company is alleged to be behind the incident.) As a staff member who is engaged in bacterial testing in hospitals, I feel that it is not appropriate and it is necessary to tell everyone about the urgency of the reality. It should be said that the “superbug” is a very serious problem: it is not simply drug resistance, hundreds of antibiotics, even if not completely drug-free, it is already difficult to find a few effective drugs for it; only a few remaining antibiotics, taking into account the side effects of different patients and liver and kidney damage, some patients The only few remaining antibiotics, if applied uncontrolled as they are now, may not last long and may also appear resistant. The development of new antibiotics has been difficult to cope with the rapid development of bacterial resistance: the development of a new antibiotic requires billions of dollars or tens of billions of dollars, and the research and development cycle is often more than ten years, while a new antibiotic may have resistance cases within a few months of being put on the market. The recognition of pathogenic microorganisms and the discovery of antibiotics is a great milestone in the fight against disease. The great Dr. Bai Qiu’en died on the front lines of the war against Japan in China because of a lack of antibiotics for an infected hand. After the discovery and widespread use of antibiotics, people were no longer helpless against infectious diseases and were once overly optimistic that mankind would soon overcome infectious diseases. However, today, more than 50 years after the introduction of antibiotics, the abuse of antibiotics has led to the rapid formation and spread of a large number of drug-resistant bacteria, especially multidrug-resistant bacteria, and humans are once again faced with the embarrassing situation of “no drugs available for bacteria”. In response to some of the arguments for classifying “superbugs” as pseudoscience, we will explain them one by one: “Superbugs” are not the latest. This conclusion is indeed true, multidrug-resistant bacteria as far as I know have appeared for more than a decade, but with the acceleration of individual antibiotic resistance (previously, new antibiotics came out a dozen years or a few years before the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, now is a year or two or a few months will have drug-resistant bacteria), the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria is also a dramatic acceleration trend, the first decade or so is Staphylococcus aureus MRSA and vancomycin-resistant enterococcus VRE In recent years, several “superbugs” have emerged, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus immobilis. The “superbug” is not a bacterium but a special enzyme. This expression is also correct, but it adds to the seriousness of the problem, indicating that many kinds of bacteria can become “superbugs”. This statement is not perfect, but it should be said that in addition to a specific enzyme, superbugs also include a variety of other drug resistance-related enzymes; in addition to drug-resistant enzymes, they also include other drug resistance mechanisms (including the antibiotic efflux pump of bacteria, bacterial drug receptor mutations, etc.). The “superbugs” do not have to spread globally and are treatable. Although “superbugs” do not spread globally as quickly as SARS, it is undeniable that there are specific “superbugs” in many countries, including China, and that there are a large number of similar “superbugs”. The existence of “superbugs” (multidrug-resistant or pan-drug-resistant bacteria) is undeniable. It is unlikely that “superbugs” will spread globally, but it is a fact that they are spreading from country to country. It is true that “superbugs” can be treated, but it is also true that they are very difficult to treat, and there are a few cases of death in elderly or weak immune system patients who are seriously ill and cannot be treated. Bacteria containing this enzyme are only infectious in the medical process, and are not dangerous in ordinary life. This kind of bacteria in the medical session of the infection more or even accounted for the majority, but does not exclude the spread in ordinary life, just because the majority of weak and sickly immune poor people are living in the hospital, now found that these people even if they do not live in the hospital and live in 120, 999 emergency center observation will also be infected by these bacteria, presumably they even live at home also have the possibility of infection. Of course, one thing is still clear: people who are strong and fit are generally not too threatened; people with low immunity are easily threatened by this danger (susceptible people) whether in the medical sector or in ordinary life are likely to be infected, not absolutely safe. In addition, people are living and dying in hospitals, and there are a large number of susceptible people in ordinary life, so it is important not to take this lightly. A drug company is alleged to be behind the incident. This possibility of commercial speculation may be true (the author’s limited knowledge failed), and it is also true that the stocks of certain pharmaceutical companies have been rising at that time; stocks will go down after a period of time, and there will be a time when the hype subsides. But the existence of “superbug” and its harm is not to be ignored, the impact on some patients is the fear of life (some patients with severe trauma or cardiovascular accident woke up after the infection can not pass the level to cause the previous work), for doctors in some professions has been daunting (such as respiratory doctors pouring out bitterness: some elderly patients were hospitalized because of the flu and fever. Some elderly patients were hospitalized with fever because they were infected by similar “superbugs”, and several antibiotic treatments were ineffective, leading to the death of the patient. You need to be careful when entering the profession! “Superbug” type of germs have such a huge impact, this is included in the “pseudoscience” to ignore the past really should not! By the way, the “superbug” (NDM-1) was first discovered in New Delhi, India, and infected a post-operative patient, the use and management of antibiotics in India may not be ideal for the emergence of this bacterium, but we all understand their own psychological treatment and medication habits as patients, and we all know our country’s Antibiotic use management situation, I guess not much better than India. I want to understand that the situation of bacterial resistance in China is already very serious, and the reported “superbug” is just the tip of the iceberg. The problem is not just a matter of hospital doctors, but also the psychology and needs of patients, and the medical system. Objectively speaking, “superbug” may be a bit sensational (but its original English is super bacteria, directly translated as “super bacteria”), and its characteristics are slightly unrealistic, but I think it is different from “pseudoscience” is two different things, not serious about the whole society will pay the price for it!
