An analysis of four extremely worried about the carrier into highly pathogenic bacteria An analysis of two must recognize that antibiotics have two sides An analysis of one has not been found absolutely effective drugs October 26, China found three cases of infection with superbugs, superbugs landed on the Chinese mainland, which makes a lot of people feel that it is not far from their own o Superbugs are controllable? How can people protect themselves? Our province in response to the superbugs in the performance of how?27, the reporter interviewed the provincial CDC bacterial experts o experts said, at present, this bacterium is only infected in hospitals, has not yet been found in the community infection cases o In addition, the experts reminded, be sure to be careful with the use of antibiotics. Drug-resistant genes or lead to the emergence of more superbugs “This bacteria is called ‘super drug-resistant bacteria’ is more appropriate.” The afternoon of October 27, the provincial CDC bacteria director Bi Zhenwang told reporters that this bacteria is not a certain kind of bacteria, but carry a special gene bacteria, this gene is NDM-1 drug-resistant gene. This gene can exist in a variety of bacteria, so patients infected with superbugs do not have a fixed clinical symptoms, “if the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, it may be the performance of gastrointestinal disease, if the bacteria in the respiratory tract, it is the respiratory tract infection symptoms.” “That’s the scary thing about superbugs.” Unlike infectious diseases such as influenza A, which are spread primarily from person to person, the NDM-1 gene is able to be passed from bacterium to bacterium, and once a bacterium acquires the gene, it is able to synthesize an enzyme that renders the vast majority of antibiotics ineffective. “This will lead to the emergence of more superbugs, and that’s the biggest concern.” The possibility of spreading in the population is unlikely Bi Zhenwang introduced, the initial discovery of infected patients in Indian hospitals, the current discovery of infected cases are also in hospitals, the population has not yet appeared in the case of cross-infection. “Therefore, now see the possibility of spreading in the population is not likely.” Bi Zhenwang said. Nonetheless, because of its super-resistance, it is difficult to treat once infected. “According to the current speed of drug development, it will take almost 10 years to develop anti-superbug drugs that can be used in the clinic, so it’s not realistic to rely on new drug development to treat the disease.” Zhang Wei agrees with this view, but he believes that, as super-resistant bacteria, still have a certain degree of infectiousness. Therefore, he suggested that children, the elderly and other physically weak try to go to public places, if you go to the hospital to do a good job of protection and isolation. In addition, during hospitalization, pay attention to personal hygiene, prevention of surgical infections. At the same time, because the superbugs mainly target people with low immunity, it is very important to enhance physical fitness. Our province to detect superbugs complete equipment “At present, our province CDC has been established with the National Center for Disease Control liaison interaction, detection of superbugs equipment has been prepared, once the need will be started immediately.” Bi Zhenwang said, in addition to the laboratory for the existing strains, can also be tested, but he estimated that the detection rate is relatively low. In addition, for the detection of bacteria, “there are currently 10 statutory bacterial infectious diseases is a fixed test species, belonging to the routine test content.” But generally is to detect the distribution of pathogens within the province as well as mutation, as for the detection of bacterial resistance, Bi Zhenwang said, may be more in the clinic. It is reported that China’s existing monitoring of bacterial resistance has been covered to the provinces and cities, but mostly in the three hospitals, a large number of secondary hospitals have not been included in the national monitoring network. Use antibiotics cautiously and don’t be quick to give fluids Similar super-resistant bacteria have appeared before, such as Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococci. The discovery of NDM-1 has once again sounded the alarm for human public health, “which also highlights the seriousness and danger of our misuse of antibiotics.” To prevent superbugs, in addition to boosting immunity, antibiotics should be used wisely at the same time. “For general colds, try not to take fluids if it’s early, because colds are often caused by viruses in the early stages, and can be treated with antivirals or Chinese herbs.” At the same time, he offers several suggestions to avoid misuse of antibiotics. First, do not go to the pharmacy to buy their own antibiotic drugs, there must be a doctor’s guidance; second, the drugs in the family medicine box should also be taken under the guidance of a physician, because some drugs are not necessarily suitable for them; third, follow the course of treatment of the disease, do not rush to seek quick, try not to combine the use of antibiotics.
