According to scientists, this " virus " is a drug-resistant, more flexible Ecoli bacterium than regular Ecoli bacteria, which has a very strong vitality, and can further change its shape.

Scientists have taken a picture of this " virus " through electron microscopy for nearly a week. The sample of this " virus " was taken from a male patient diagnosed with " viral" infection carrying the NDM-1 gene.

According to scientists, this "virus " is about 2 microns long, has many waves, is faster and more flexible than regular Ecoli bacteria.

In addition, the surface of the "virus " is covered by a membrane that can resist white blood cell attack.
