A Virulent Strain of Antibiotic-resistant superbug that causes severe disease has been found circulating in a malaysian hospital-posing significant challenges to Global Public HEALTAT, A NEW Study Revelation.

The work is Published in the journey Microbial genomics,

Analyzing 10 years’ Worth of Data, Scientists Discovered that Most Acinetobacter Baumannii (A. Baumannii) infections at the main tertiary hospital in terengganu, Malayasia, Belonged to Global Clone 2 (Or GC2), which is the dominant type in most parts of the world.

Investigating data related to 126 Samples of the Bacteria (2011–2020), Researchers Found That The Majority of Malaysian A. Baumannii was Resistant to Multiple Antibiotics, with Most Resistant to Carbapeten Drugs of choice for the treatment of a. Baumannii infections.

The International Research Team also found that 97% of the bacterial Samples Carriad Plasmids – Tiny DNA “Toolkits” —That Help Spread Antibitic Resistance.

Co-Author Dr. David cleary, from the university of birmingham, commented, “Our Study Provides Further Evidence that The Same Danger Family of A. Baumannii Bacteria Keeps Spreading in Hosopets. Importance, there is very little information on

“Understanding how the disease evolves is critical in help of disease, as well as development and optimizing treates. Middle-Income Countries Need More Tools to Track It. Predominance of the GC2 Lineage and the High Incidence of Carbapenem Resistance Pose a Significant Threat to Public Health. “

Prof Chew CHEENG Yeo, The Principal Investigator from Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (Unisza), Adds, “Our Study Shows the Importance of International Research Collection to Tacle the presiding Spread of Multidrug Resistant Bacteria, more so when there is scarcity of data from certain parts of the world. “

A. Baumannii can cause infections in the blood, lungs, urinary tracts and wounds. It typically causes these problems in health care settings, such as hospitals. Owing to its ability to resist antibiotic treatment, it has been listed by the world health organization (who) as a critical priority antibitic-resistant path.
