Bacterial Crisis ｜ Highly toxic “superbugs” have invaded Hong Kong and the mortality rate is as high as 45%.

[WHO/Superbugs/Klebsiella pneumoniae/Bacteria/Oilthigh Polytechnic Hong Kong/Oilthigh Polytechnic/Aspirin/Làimhseachadh]The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a report on July 31, indicating that the drug-resistant and highly pathogenic superbug “Klebsiella pneumoniae” (CR-hvKP) is currently spreading throughout In the world, at least 16 countries and regions have reported the discovery of bacteria, including Hong Kong. However, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University released research results on this bacteria last year , saying that the study found that “aspirin” effectively inhibits the outbreak of bacteria in the body and is expected to significantly reduce mortality.

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University research team (hereafter referred to as the research team) discovered as early as 2017 a new strain of the pathogen “Klebsiella pneumoniae” (CR-hvKP) that is drug-resistant and highly virulent. . human health. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies the virus as a “supervirus.” The research team, led by Professor Chen Sheng, Chair Professor of Microbiology, found that the new variant is multi-drug resistant and very virulent, and is very aggressive on to cure if disease is present, the mortality rate is as high as 25% to 45%. Chen Sheng said that this type of bacteria is generally common in hospitals and will stick to hospital beds, floors and even medical equipment. Patients are usually infected in hospitals and intensive care units, and it is usually old people are the most susceptible to disease.

However, the research team made significant progress in designing treatments for new mutant strains of the bacteria in 2023. They discovered that after the pathogen invades the host, it triggers a “storm cytokine”, causing the patient to produce an uncontrolled immune cell response, eventually developing into a fatal disease. Eliminates the “cytokine storm” effect and reduces the chance of it descending into septic shock, with a 100% success rate.

The research team pointed out that “aspirin” alone cannot cure the pathogen, but if it is combined with other antibiotics, the therapeutic effect can be improved; and after screening, it was found that ceftazidime / avibactam together with “aspirin” “It can effectively treat; acute disease “Klebsiella pneumoniae”; and the drug zidovudine used to treat AIDS, together with the antibiotic rifampicin, can also successfully remove the pathogen “Klebsiella pneumoniae” We can hold appropriate discussions with local hospitals and send needed as soon as possible so that patients can benefit more quickly without going through a long new drug development and approval cycle.

Extremely small Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp strain) occurs in 16 countries and regions

Based on foreign media reports, the World Health Organization released its latest report on July 31, stating that a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae is spreading worldwide Currently, at least 16 countries and departments on cases of the highly significant Klebsiella pneumoniae disease reported (hvKp flow) appearing in the department:

WHO explains that Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family and is found in the general environment, including soil, surface water and medical equipment; throat, nasopharynx and upper gastrointestinal tract. This bacterium is naturally resistant to antibiotics.

WHO emphasized that, due to the limitations of the current surveillance system for this type of bacteria, it is considered likely that the actual situation of current diseases will be underestimated.

To provide a more comprehensive understanding of the epidemic situation, WHO calls on countries to strengthen cooperation, the ability to identify and detect highly virulent Klebsiella pneumoniae, and to develop appropriate prevention and treatment strategies. create at the same time the treatment of antibiotics in medical treatment, to slow down the development of resistance against bacteria.
