AYER: se declara el fin de la epidemia de la gripe A. Hoy:
A new superbug could spread around the world after reaching Britain from India -- in part because of medical tourism -- and scientists say there are almost no drugs to treat it.

Researchers said on Wednesday they had found a new gene called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase, or NDM-1, in patients in South Asia and in Britain.

NDM-1 makes bacteria highly resistant to almost all antibiotics, including the most powerful class called carbapenems, and experts say there are no new drugs on the horizon to tackle it.
Hasta que alguien invente una vacuna que se comprará por millones y que habrá que acabar tirando a la basura sin haberlas usado...
