Denmark reports first super bacteria case

Via Xinhua :

" COPENHAGEN, Nov. 25 : The so-called super bacteria NDM-1 has showed up in Denmark, the first case discovered in the country, according to Danish media.

According to the report on Wednesday, a 57-year-old woman was infected in July this year. She was later put in isolation at Skejby hospital near the Danish city of Aarhus.

NDM-1 is called a super bacteria because it is nearly impossible to treat with antibiotics.
The woman is originally from Bosnia but has lived in Denmark for 15 years. The woman was infected during a vacation in Bosnia."
