Abuse of antibiotics creates 'viruses'

An Indian infectious disease expert confirmed that the emergence of 'viruses' carrying NDM-1 resistance genes recently is the result of antibiotic use in the country , Xinhua. The commune cited sources from India.

Abdul Jaafar, an infectious disease specialist from Apollo Hospital in New Delhi, told the Indian press recently that the abuse of antibiotics is the cause of the emergence of viruses.

This expert said, when new antibiotics appeared, it was a magic weapon to kill bacteria.However, the bacteria also evolved resistance to antibiotics.Recently there have been many types of 'viruses' that are resistant to many antibiotics.

Jaafar said India is one of the countries with the most serious antibiotic abuse in the world.Many antibiotics do not work for 60-70% of Indians.Meanwhile, this figure in developed countries is only 15%.

Jaafar said that this year, only in one hospital, 22 cases of patients infected with 'viruses' with NDM resistance genes were discovered - 1. Jaafar also said that, if the above statistics nationwide cases of similar diseases, this number will be extremely terrible. However, Jaafar also asserted that this type of 'virus' has only spread within the hospital but not outside.

Many experts also say that 'virus' is not as dangerous as people think and not without measures to control. Experts also advise that the best way to deal with this type of virus is to avoid it. Accordingly, each person should regularly wash their hands, pay attention to hygiene and eating, . because even if they are 'viruses' , these bacteria still spread through the road 'from their mouths' .
