The super defence is- a gene named "New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1" .
As the name suggests, this gene has been found in the Indian Sub-continent.
To read more about it, here's the link-

The reporting of a new gene that makes bacteria resistant to every kind of anti biotics, is this a matter of serious health concern or a deterrant to increasing medical tourism to the Indian sub continent?
It will affect medical-tourism and hence of serious health concern to certain doctors. Common Indian subcontinent folks have seriousER concerns than super-bug "metallo-beta-lactamase-1", so does not matter much.Originally Posted by anjoo

Badhiya hai chahe fake khabar ho ya sachi is bahane doctra ke bha ghat jange ar jo tem angreja ki sewa mein lagya karta us tem mein is desh aalya ka bhi kime mada mota bhala ho jaga. Baaki jitne karde hoke ye bhopu bajan lag rahe hain is hisab se to desh ki abadi aaj ghani e kam ho jati.
NDM-1 was mostly found in E. coli, a common source of community-acquired urinary tract infections, and K. pneumoniae, and was impervious to all antibiotics except two, tigecycline and colistin.ye dawai bhi kise bahar ki company ki pawengi.
In some cases, even these drugs did not beat back the infection.
Crucially, the NDM-1 gene was found on DNA structures, called plasmids, that can be easily copied and transferred between bacteria, giving the bug "an alarming potential to spread and diversify," the authors said.
"Unprecedented air travel and migration allow bacterial plasmids and clones to be transported rapidly between countries and continents," mostly undetected, they said.
