We've continued to follow the
emergence of NDM-1 around the globe. A recent interview in the Times of India that Tim Walsh gave was an interesting read and very concerning. Walsh is the lead author of the recent Lancet ID paper that
Dan commented on earlier this year which reported NDM-1 bacteria in 4% of drinking-water samples and 30% of waste-water samples in New Delhi.
Most concerning was his suggestion "
that the carriage rate of NDM-1 in India is between 100 and 200 million" people. Crazy. The interview is a great read since he pulls no punches.
