Extensively drug-resistant New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase–encoding bacteria in the environment, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2012 [PDF]
Carriage of the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase variant 1 (NDM-1) enables drug resistance to move between communities and hospitals. In Bangladesh, we found the blaNDM-1 gene in 62% of environmental waters and in fermentative and nonfermentative gram ...
