...Plasmids carrying the blaNDM-1 gene are diverse and can harbor a high number of resistance genes associated with other carbapenemase genes (oxacillinase-48 [OXA-48] types, VIM types), plasmid-mediated cephalosporinase genes, ESBL genes, aminoglycoside resistance genes (16S RNA methylases), macrolide resistance genes (esterase), rifampin (rifampinmodifying enzymes) and sulfamethoxazole resistance genes as a source of multidrug resistance and pandrug resistance (16,17) (Figure 2, panel B)....

...In contrast to several other carbapenemase genes, the blaNDM-1 gene is not associated with a single clone but rather with nonclonally related isolates and species (16,17)....

...One compound, MBX-1162 (87), is currently in phase I clinical trials and has shown good, broad spectrum activity against gram positive and negative bacteria including problem pathogens such as MDR A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae, VRE, and MRSA.372, 373 Many of the most promising new targets are antibacterial enzymes and one of the most extensively discussed is undoubtedly FtsZ, a highly conserved, GTPase, tubulin homolog that assembles into dynamic contractile ring structures that act as a scaffold for the protein complexes that drive cell division....
