Singapore : New superbug found here

An article via Straits Times, Singapore are now reporting they have dealt with NDM-1 :

" A NEWLY found superbug from India that has been making news around the world infected two patients here early this year - before anyone knew what they were dealing with - but was successfully dealt with and contained.

The patients had infections from bacteria with the New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) gene which has the ability to shield bacteria from all antibiotics, turning them into drug-resistant superbugs."
