Scientists have found antibiotic-resistant superbug in soil samples taken in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole, confirming the spread of blaNDM-1 (called New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase-1) into the High Arctic.
23 per cent of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions were inappropriate and 28 per cent were not associated with any diagnosis code at all.

Scientists have identified over 6,000 antibiotic resistance genes found in bacteria that inhabit the human gut.
Researchers have identified over 6,000 antibiotic resistance genes found in bacteria that inhabit the human gut, which is home to trillions of micro-organisms, mainly bacteria.
The situation can become alarming considering that the crude infectious disease-related mortality rate in India is 416.75 per 100,000 persons, which is about twice the prevalent rate in United States (World Bank data). There is also a 15-times greater burden of infectious diseases per person in India than in the UK.
Antibiotic resistance is a major global concern now and here are ways by which you can deal it.
Antibiotic resistance is becoming a major concern for our doctors with over 7 lakh people losing their lives to this condition in the country.
In the past, mass spectrometry data repositories have been underused as it was difficult to search through them and this had led to high rates of the rediscovery of known compounds, researchers said. But this new computer algorithm just makes things easier.
In order to combat the growing spread of multi-drug resistance bacteria, scientists have come up with a new kind of antibiotic that has the ability to restrict multi-drug resistance.
The study published in European Journal of Public Health states that 'probiotics provided to reduce the risk for common acute infections, may be associated with reduced antibiotic use in infants and children.'
Watch out cat lovers. Here's all you need to know about this rare bacterial infection that you may contract from your pet cats.
Researchers have come up with a predatory bacteria that can help overcome the crisis of antibiotic resistance that has become the major concern for doctors these days.
According to a study published in the journal Nature Communication, it outperformed several established antibiotics.
A black hairy tongue is a condition where the bumps on the tongue increase in size and turn into brownish-black colour. It gives an impression of having a thick layer of hair in the tongue.
Instead of invading pathogens, the new vaccine would be the first to target bacteria already in human skin. The researchers demonstrated that antibodies to a toxin secreted from bacteria in acne vulgaris can reduce inflammation in human acne lesions.
Eating the right foods while having your prescribed antibiotics helps to reap its benefits. However, if you end up eating the wrong foods while on antibiotics, you might have to deal with its wrath.
Just like your home-based pregnancy test kit, this paper-based east-to-conduct, inexpensive test will identify fake and diluted drugs, mostly antibiotics, thanks to the scientists from the Colorado State University.
The researchers believe that they might develop synthetic peptides that could be used as antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria by modifying these peptides to enhance their antimicrobial activity.
Two people died and seven are in critical condition at RIMS hospital, Andhra Pradesh due to antibiotic drug reaction.
Beware! A dangerous new pathogen can now blind or kill people.
Penicillin allergies can increase the risk of drug resistant 'superbug' infections, according to a study.
A common ingredient found in toothpaste and handwash may contribute to antibiotic resistance in body, warns a new study.

The antibiotic called odilorhabdins, or ODLs, are produced by symbiotic bacteria found in soil-dwelling nematode worms that colonise insects for food.
On World Health Day, we must confront the elephant in the room- Antibiotic resistance.
