Health Authorities of Panama enacted deadly bacteria alert
They want to prevent a possible spread in Latin America of this bacterium resistant to all antibiotics.
Health authorities in Panama decreed an epidemiological alert today, with the possible spread in Latin America of the deadly bacteria type carbapenemase metallo New Delhi (NDM), resistant to all antibiotics "beta-lactams." Panamanian Health Ministry said through a statement that the epidemiological measures were ordered after the appearance of a case of infection with NDM in Guatemala. The NDM-type metallo-have spread to several countries, carried by members of the family Enterobacteriaceae such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, commonly associated agent to nosocomial infections. In August 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported on the emergency response to a mechanism of resistance in Enterobacteriaceae, linked to increased morbidity and hospital mortality in India, Pakistan and England. They were subsequently confirmed other infectious cases of NDM in Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States. Among the sanitary activities in Panama include surveillance and epidemiological research and steadily increasing participation of laboratories in the surveillance system for early detection of outbreaks in hospitals. Public hospitals Panamanians are subjected to intensive disinfection to control outbreaks of the bacteria nosocomial Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenem (KPC), which in 2011 killed 101 patients, and the pathogen Klebsiella Blea + .
