WORLDWIDE SPREAD OF MDR BACTERIA SIGNALS TO BE RESIDENT OF

GUT MICROBIOTA FOR VITAMIN SYNTHESIS AND HETEROGENEOUS

PHYTO-ANTIBIOTICS MAY CURE MDR INFECTIONS GLOBALLY

HO advocates worldwide action plan promoting research on phyto-antibiotics, gene medicines and conventional anti-

microbials to stop superbugs horror that claims million deaths due to ineffectiveness of antibiotics. WHO has also

recommended controlled use of antibiotics in patients and bans use of excess antibiotics in agricultural land and food animal

growth. Our study indicated thatmore than 40%of sea, river and rainwater bacteriawere resistant to semi-synthetic antibiotics like

ampicillin and amoxicillin.

blaTEM, blaCTX-M, blaOXA

types beta-lactamases,

AacC1/A1

acetyl transferases and AphA4 phospho

transferases including

catB3, sul1/2 and strA/B

genes were detected in most plasmids and certain MDR chromosome islands as

in

E. coli, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, S. enterica, M. tuberculosis, S. aureus and A. baumannii

. Plasmids carrying blaNDM1 and

blaKPC genes are increasing and wonder drug imipenem is becoming useless in few cases andMcr-1 gene in E. coli plasmids has

made colistin drug useless.

TetA/C, acrAB-TolC, mexAB/CD/EF-oprM, macAB, mtrCDE

drug efflux genes were activated causing

many antibiotics (tetracycline, azithromycin, amikacin, norfloxacin) useless.

RpoB, pncA, ponA, penA, and rpsL

mutations are

involved in multi-resistance in TB and gonorrhoea.

GyrA/B or parC

genes mutations and

aac6’-1b-cr

gene accumulation were the

cause of widespread fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin) drug resistance mtrR, acrR, tetR and ampR types transcriptional regulators

have also accumulated in superbug plasmids and are activated by antibiotics increasing superbug sepsis and death. PubMed and

GenBank search indicated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) had created an acute problem in modern society worldwide and could

be designated as 21st century pseudo antibiotic dark age. Abundant multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria from Kolkata Ganga

River and Digha Sea were detected and characterized as Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) superbugs (

Escherichia,

Phenalkaligenes, Pseudomonas, Streptococci, Citrobacter, and Stenotrophomonas

). AMR could be resembled to many hallmarks

of cancer cells: MDR genes in plasmids similar to diversified oncogenes, active mutations producing ESBL and inhibitor resistant

similar to GTP-bound Gly->Val mutant Ha-ras oncoprotein, activation of

blaCTX-M, acrAB, tetA and cmr

genes with high copy

number and expression, similar to over expressed retroviral oncogenes and high amount of small plasmid-like DNAs apart from

large conjugative plasmids similar to high copies of chromosomes and miRNA in tumour cells. However, we have forgotten

that 2x1012 bacteria in the intestine are constantly synthesizing 20 vitamins and complex bio-molecules for our body and one

high dose of antibiotics is enough to kill all such microbiota. Thus, it appears, multidrug-resistant genes creation is to protect

microbiota from repeated doses of antibiotics that we have consumed since 1940s. Thus, MDR bacteria will be the resident of

intestine favouring vitamin biosynthesis, needed for normal human metabolism. Several high-quality research from US Human

Microbiome Project (HMP), European Metagenomics of the Human Intestinal Tract (MetaHIT) and others have demonstrated the

beneficial functions of the normal gut flora (>35000 species) on health. It is thus G-20 nations in Germany are united for active

research on MDR bacteria to stop superbug horror. Interestingly an improved MDR-cure organic phyto-extracts (

Cassia fistula,

Suregada multiflora, Syzygium aromaticum and Cinnamomum zeynalicum etc

) inhibits Kolkata superbugs and gives a hope for

new drug development as we have characterized active chemicals by MASS, NMR and FT-IR.
