【medical-news】英国爆发产ESBL耐药大肠杆菌感染
Antibiotic Resistant ESBL-Producing E.coli Strain Spreading In UK
An ESBL-producing E.coli strain, which is said to be harder to treat than MRSA, now infects about 30,000 people annually in England and Wales, according to a TV Tonight Programme. It is thought imported chicken is closely linked to the presence of this resistant strain.
This E.coli strain produces Extended-Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL), an enzyme which makes it such that infections become resistant to several antibiotic drugs. Patients develop urinary tract infections, which can develop into dangerous septicemia (blood poisoning).
The first case of ESBL E.coli appeared about four years ago and seemed to infect elderly women. As it has spread, so has the age and type of patient who gets infected. It is spreading rapidly throughout England and Wales, according to the program.
Tests carried out recently by the Health Protection Agency found that one quarter of foreign chickens sold in British supermarkets carry ESBL E.coli. Out of hundreds of birds tested, only one chicken farmed in Great Britain was infected. Recent tests carried out in Spain and the USA have also revealed a link between ESBL E.coli and chicken.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) issued a statement on 22 September, stating that in light of increased media and public interest in ESBL-producing E.coli, it felt it might be helpful to provide some background information about these infections, and also explain what work is being carried out in this area. 续上文 抱歉，因另有其他事情,无法完成任务,请其他战友自由认领． 抱歉，因另有其他事情,无法完成任务,请其他战友自由认领． 本人认领该文编译，48小时后若未提交译文，请其他战友自由认领。 第一次翻译,还请各位GGJJ多多指点!!

据一档晚间电视节目报道 ,在英格兰和威尔士,每年约在30000人罹患产ESBL大肠杆菌感染,这是一种比MRSA更难治的细菌,目前认为,这种耐药菌的出现和传播,与鸡肉进口密切相关.
This E.coli strain produces Extended-Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL), an enzyme which makes it such that infections become resistant to several antibiotic drugs. Patients develop urinary tract infections, which can develop into dangerous septicemia (blood poisoning).
细菌产生的超广谱Beta-内酰胺酶(ESBL),使此种大肠杆菌对几种抗生素产生耐药.病人会出现泌尿道感染,甚至发展成为较为危险的败血症(一种血行性感染)
The first case of ESBL E.coli appeared about four years ago and seemed to infect elderly women. As it has spread, so has the age and type of patient who gets infected. It is spreading rapidly throughout England and Wales, according to the program.
该节目介绍,首例产ESBL大肠杆菌感染发生于四年前的一名老年女性患者,开始时感染只是在类似的老年患者中传播,但很快便迅速殃及了整个英格兰和威尔士.
Tests carried out recently by the Health Protection Agency found that one quarter of foreign chickens sold in British supermarkets carry ESBL E.coli. Out of hundreds of birds tested, only one chicken farmed in Great Britain was infected. Recent tests carried out in Spain and the USA have also revealed a link between ESBL E.coli and chicken.
英国疾控机构(HPA)近期检验发现,国内超市里所出售的进口鸡肉中,有1/4携带有产ESBL大肠杆菌.而数百只被检验的本土养殖禽类中,仅有一只发现感染.与此同时,在西班牙和美国所进行的相关检验,也得出了产ESBL大肠杆菌与鸡肉有关的相同结论.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) issued a statement on 22 September, stating that in light of increased media and public interest in ESBL-producing E.coli, it felt it might be helpful to provide some background information about these infections, and also explain what work is being carried out in this area.
鉴于公众和媒体对产ESBL大肠杆菌的日益关注,9月22日HPA发表声明称,向媒体和公众提供一些此感染的相关背景知识以及目前在该领域中所进行的研究方向,将是一件有益的事情.
What are ESBL-producing E.coli?
什么是产ESBL大肠杆菌呢?
ESBL-producing E.coli are antibiotic-resistant strains of E.coli. E.coli are common bacteria which will normally exist innocuously in the gut (intestines). The ESBL-producing strains manufacture an enzyme called extended-spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL). ESBL makes them resistant to cephalosporin antibiotics, as well as a number of other classes of antibiotics - making these infections much challenging to treat.
