Since 2008, worldwide circulation of microorganisms with the antimicrobial resistance mechanism, New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase (NDM), has been documented. NDM, a type of carbapenemase, is known to cause resistance to all beta-lactam antibiotics except aztreonam. Thus far, there are 12 countries in the Region of the Americas that have detected microorganisms with the NDM resistance mechanism. Desde 2008, se ha documentado a nivel mundial la circulación de microorganismos con mecanismo de resistencia antimicrobiana denominado “New Delhi metalobetalactamasa” (NDM), un tipo de carbapenemasas que ocasiona resistencia a todos los antibióticos betaláctamicos excepto aztreonam. En la Región de las Américas, son 12 los países que hasta la fecha han detectado microorganismos con este mecanismo de resistencia.
