    Khan et al. BMC Microbiology (2017) 17:101 DOI 10.1186/s12866-017-1012-8 REVIEW Open Access Structure, Genetics and Worldwide Spread of New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase (NDM): a threat to public health Asad U. Khan1*, Lubna Maryam1 and Raffaele Zarrilli2,3* Abstract Background: The emergence of carbapenemase producing bacteria, especially New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) and its variants, worldwide, has raised amajor public health concern. NDM-1 hydrolyzes a wide range of β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems, which are the last resort of antibiotics for the treatment of infections caused by resistant strain of bacteria. Main body: In this review, we have discussed blaNDM-1variants, its genetic analysis including type of specific mutation, origin of country and spread among several type of bacterial species. Wide members of enterobacteriaceae, most commonly Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, and gram-negative non-fermenters Pseudomonas spp. and Acinetobacter baumannii were found to carry these markers. Moreover, at least seventeen variants of blaNDM-type gene differing into one or two residues of amino acids at distinct positions have been reported so far among different species of bacteria from different countries. The genetic and structural studies of these variants are important to understand the mechanism of antibiotic hydrolysis as well as to design new molecules with inhibitory activity against antibiotics. Conclusion: This review provides a comprehensive view of structural differences among NDM-1 variants, which are a driving force behind their spread across the globe. Keywords: Enterobacteriaceae, New Delhi-Metallo-Beta-Lactamases, Carbapenemases, Antibiotic resistance Background bacteria allowing the resistant bacteria to bloom and Although antibiotics were developed to fight infections, the susceptible bacteria to pass away.

Dowson Christopher Abstract The β-lactams retain a central place in the antibacterial armamentarium. In Gram-negative bacteria, β-lactamase enzymes that hydrolyze the amide bond of the four-membered β-lactam ring are the primary resistance mechanism, with multiple enzymes disseminating on mobile genetic elements across opportunistic pathogens such as Enterobacteriaceae (e.g., Escherichia coli) and non-fermenting organisms (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa).
