Description
Florencia Martino and a large team trace drug-resistant bacteria in an Argentine hospital in this two thousand twenty-six paper. Some gut bacteria carry the NDM gene, which defeats even last-resort antibiotics. Such strains are a heavy burden in Latin America, yet data on their spread are scarce. The team sequenced bacteria from patients and from the hospital environment. All came from the same intensive care units.
They read the full genomes of forty environmental isolates and four clinical ones. Their focus was the plasmids, small DNA rings that carry the resistance gene between bacteria. Comparing these rings shows how resistance moves through a ward. The findings can guide cleaning and infection control. They also fill a regional gap in tracking resistant germs.
