    Let the Acronyms remain the same, instead change the full form to New Dwarf Metallobeta lactamase Superbug.

    Don't name the disease after anyone, anything because we don't know the root from where it started.

    Scientists have warned that a new superbug, called New Delhi-Metallo-1, which is resistant to antibiotics, has reached Britain and could spread worldwide as nothing is being developed to combat it.

    I Think British Scientists Are Jealous Of Our Development And Therefore They Using Such Dirty Tricks To Make Our Country People Feel That Once Upon A Time We Were Under Their Rule And As They Left Us We Became Paralised

    Remove the name "NEW DELHI". coz we are Indians & we dont like this kind of things. We need To change their name Who Named NDM-1 Superbug as New Delhi.

    Please avoid to put the lively place/thing names for superbug because it hurts the people who r living there and also it helps the bad name for the place too;better focus to destroy these kind of bugs and not to focus on the naming like that;so many researchers are good to give the naming,so discuss with them.

    Request every Indian to join us in changing the name of Superbug Enzyme: http://ChangeSuperbugName.com

  • 24/Mar/2011: Sarraah Gupta,Admin,Management Institute
    No Indian would like such enzyme or superbug to be associated with our Capital of India. The Lead microbiologist who named NDM should be proud to put his name or his country's name.
