   Another threat to antibiotics

   "The last line of antibiotic defence against some serious infections is   
   under threat, say experts who have identified a gene that enables   
   resistance to spread between bacteria in China.   
      
   The gene, called mcr-1, allows a range of common bacteria, including E   
   coli, to become resistant to the last fully functional class of   
   antibiotics, the polymyxins. This gene, they say, is widespread in bugs   
   called /Enterobacteriaceae/ carried by both pigs and people in south   
   China and is likely to spread worldwide."
