Since 2008, there has been documented worldwide circulation of microorganisms with antimicrobial resistance mechanism, called "New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase" (NDM), which confers resistance, to all β -lactam antibiotics except aztreonam. These microorganisms are considered multiresistant because they have other mechanisms of resistance to β –lactam antimicrobial drugs, leaving very few therapeutic options for treating patients infected with these bacteria. Desde 2008, se documentó a nivel mundial la circulación de microorganismos con mecanismo de resistencia antimicrobiana, denominado “New Delhi Metalobetalactamasa” (NDM), el cual confiere resistencia a todos los antibióticos betaláctamicos excepto aztreonam. Estos microrganismos son considerados multirresistentes debido a que presentan otros mecanismos de resistencia a antibióticos no betalactámicos, lo cual deja muy pocas opciones terapéuticas para tratar a pacientes infectados con estas bacterias.
