• All regions of the world are experiencing resistance to carbapenem antibiotics for treatment of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections including pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and infections in newborns and intensive care unit patients. Carbapenem antibiotics are last-resort treatment for K pneumoniae and are ineffective in more than half of those treated for K pneumoniae infections in some countries.
• Resistance to Fluoroquinolones, one of the most commonly used antibiotics for the treatment of Escherichia coli–caused urinary tract infections, is very widespread. Fluoroquinolones are now ineffective in more than half of patients in some countries.
• Third-Generation Cephalosporins, the last-resort treatment for Gonorrhea, have been found to be ineffective in Austria, Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Norway, South Africa, Slovenia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. At least 1 million people are infected with gonorrhea around the world every day.
• Antibiotic Resistance causes patients to be ill longer and increases the risk for death. It is estimated that patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are 64% more likely to die than those with a nonresistant form of the infection. Healthcare costs are increased in patients with antimicrobial-resistant infections because of longer hospital stays and the need for more intensive care.

1880
Before the Germ Theory…. “EVIL TUMORS and VAPORS”
Puerperal fever, also known as “Child-bed fever“:• Physicians did not scrub before surgery or wash their hands
between patients • Doctors and Medical students routinely moved from Dissecting
Corpses to examining New Mothers without first Washing their hands…
Puerperal Fever: • Common in hospitals and often fatal, with mortality at 10%–35%. • Autopsies showed a confusing multitude of physical signs, which
emphasized the belief that puerperal fever was not one, but many different, yet unidentified, diseases.
• Conventional wisdom that diseases spread in the form of “Bad Air", also known as miasmas or vaguely as "un-favorable atmospheric-cosmic-terrestrial influences"
• “And, with due respect for the cleanliness of the Viennese Students, it seems improbable that enough infective matter or vapor could be secluded around the fingernails to kill a patient."
Vienna General Hospital
1880
Before the Germ Theory….Puerperal fever, also known as "childbed fever"
In 1840’s (1847) while the Director of the maternity clinic at the Vienna General Hospital in Ignaz Philliop Semmelweis (a Hungarian physician) demonstrated that hand-washing with a chlorinated lime solutions could drastically reduce the number of women dying after childbirth. (35% Mortality to <1%)
However his observations conflicted with the established Scientific and Medical opinions of the time: • His ideas were rejected by the medical community.• Some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash
their hands • Semmelweis could offer no acceptable scientific explanation for his
findingsWe all now know how important it is to wash our hands:• In hospitals, bacteria are wiped out by the simple act of hand-washing.• Wards are supplied with Antiseptic Hand Gel, medical staff and visitors use before they
see patients • Routine of ‘scrubbing up’ by surgeons before an operation is, a well-established practice.
Beginning in 1861, Semmelweis suffered from various nervous complaints, severe depression, and became absentminded.. On July 30, 1865 he was lured to a Viennese insane asylum. He tried to leave, was severely beaten by several guards; secured in a straitjacket, and confined to a darkened cell. (Mental institution therapy included dousing cold water, castor oil, and enemas). He died after two weeks, (August 13, 1865, aged 47), from a gangrenous wound- possibly caused by the beating. The autopsy gave the cause of death as “pyemia”—blood poisoning

Formed in 1925; During its heyday, largest chemical company in the world and the fourth largest overall industrial concern, after General Motors, U.S. Steel, and Standard Oil of New Jersey.
Following the Nazi takeover of Germany, IG Farben became involved in war crimes during World War II. The firm's pro-Nazi leadership openly collaborated the Nazi government to produce the large quantities of Zyklon B. Post war, the firm ceased operating (1945), assets were liquidated 1952; 13 executives were imprisoned for terms ranging from 1 to 8 years at the Nuremberg Trials.

• September 1940, an Oxford county England police constable, Albert Alexander, 48, working in his rose garden, “nicked” the corner of his mouth on a rose thorn. • By the end of the month, the scratch was badly infected, with both Staphylococcus
and Streptococcus. • The infection, un-responsive to Sulfonamides antibiotics, spread to his eyes, scalp,
lungs, and shoulder.• Alexander admitted to the Radcliffe Infirmary. The infection worsened despite efforts
with various treatments including Sulfa antibiotics. • Alexander's head and scalp became covered with infection, he was persistently
bacteremic, his face was matted with weeping red abscesses, and • Progressing, one of his eyes had to be removed.
• Howard Florey and Boris Chain heard about the horrible case and asked the Radcliffe physicians if they could try their “purified” penicillin.
• On February 12, 1941 Mr. Alexander began receiving Penicillin: the Initial dose was 200 Units (160mg), then 100 mg every 3 hours.
• After five days of injections, Alexander began to recover. But Chain and Florey did not have enough penicillin to eradicate the infection; the Penicillin ran out on February 17, 1941 (Despite recycling Penicillin from the Alexander’s urine (6)).
• Mr. Alexander ultimately died of an overwhelming Staphylococcal sepsis on
March 15, 1941.

Serendipitously: Mrs. Miller’s physician, Dr. Bumstead was treating a colleague Dr. John Fulton, who was hospitalized at the same time - with Pulmonary Coccidioidomycosis .
Dr. Bumstead approached his patient (Dr. Fulton) with a plea: He was ware of Fulton’s friendship with Dr. Howard Florey, (Clinically developing Penicillin) and asked Fulton if he could talk to Florey, and obtain for a sample of Penicillin for treatment of the infection. Several phone calls later (Merck & Co) the antibiotic was procured. (3)
Dr. Norman Heatley, (Biochemist developing Penicillin) a colleague of Dr. Florey from Oxford University UK, brought the vial of Penicillin (5.5 grams) to New Haven (From Merck & Co in Rahway, New Jersey.)
Intern, Herbert Tabor, M.D., was responsible for injecting the drug, and recycling Miller’s urine (Sent Merck & Co), where up to 70% of the scarce and costly drug could be recovered and reused.

Miller began receiving her first dose via intravenous drip at 3:30 p.m. on a Saturday. (10-40,000 Units/Day) A The next morning her temperature, which had hovered between 103 and 106.5 degrees, dropped to normal for the first time in four weeks.

Hans Christian GramWikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Christian Joachim Gram Danish bacteriologist Gram studied Botany at the University of Copenhagen and
assisted Japetus Steenstrup. His interest in plants introduced him to the basis of pharmacology and the use of the microscope.
• He entered medical school in 1878 and graduated in 1883. He traveled throughout Europe between 1878 and 1885. In Berlin in 1884, he developed a method for distinguishing between two major classes of bacteria. This technique, the Gram Stain, continues to be a standard procedure in medical microbiology.
• In 1891, Gram became a lecturer in pharmacology, and later that year was appointed professor at the University of Copenhagen. In 1900 he resigned his Chair in Pharmacology to become Professor of Medicine
The Gram Stain• The work that gained him international reputation was his
development of a method of staining bacteria. The stain later played a major role in classifying bacteria
• Gram was a modest man, and in his initial publication he remarked
"I have therefore published the method, although I am aware that as yet it is very defective and imperfect; but it is hoped that also in the hands of other investigators it will turn out to be useful".

Edwin Kleb*
German physician and Bacteriologist noted for his work on the Bacterial Theory of infection:
• Assistant to Rudolf Virchow (Pathological Institute, Berlin 1861–66). • Rush Medical College (1896). • Preceded Robert Koch in studying the bacteriology of traumatic
infections,• 1876: Succeeded in producing endocarditis by mechanical means
combined with general infection• Tuberculosis : Was able to produce bovine infection by means of milk. • 1878: Successfully transmitted syphilis to monkeys
Studied: • Malaria, Hemorrhagic pancreatitis, and Gigantism.
Published:Monographs and Articles; Handbook of pathological anatomy (1869–76)
Teatise on general pathology (1887–89).

New Delhi metallo-lactamase-1
Question 121
• The carbapenem resistance, broad cross-class resistance, and susceptibility only to Tigecycline and Colistin of this member of the Enterobacteriaceae are characteristic of the New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (NDM-1).
• Among the confirmed cases of NDM-1, the majority of those who have sought care have traveled to India or Pakistan and been hospitalized within those countries.
• The encapsulated Klebsiella bacteria known to cause serious deep and metastatic infection in persons of East Asian (including Korean) descent have generally not been highly resistant organisms.
• There have been outbreaks due to Mycobacterium fortuitum and other rapid-growth mycobacteria in association with breast implants in Brazil as well as in the United States and other countries.
• Brazil, moreover, has a high prevalence of resistant gram-negative organisms; therefore, exposure to Brazilian healthcare is a potential but as yet unreported risk for cases of resistant infection in the United States.
• There are also documented cases of patients who have undergone plastic surgery in India and returned with NDM-1 infection.

New Delhi metallo-lactamase-1
“Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae with resistance to carbapenem conferred by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) are potentially a
major global health problem.
Highly resistant to many antibiotic classes, potentially herald the end of treatment with β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides—the main antibiotic classes for the treatment of Gram-negative infections” *
