Alarm over 'unbeatable' antibiotic-resistant superbug found in UK hospitals which could spread worldwide

A superbug that is resistant to antibiotics and has 'an alarming potential to spread' has reached Britain. Thirty-seven cases have already been reported, mainly among patients who have had surgery or other treatments in foreign countries. Scientists have warned that the superbug - an enzyme called New Delhi-Metallo-1 - could spread worldwide because it is resistant to almost all antibiotics and nothing is being developed to combat it.
