The compound that starts with "new" is New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM). It is an enzyme produced by certain bacteria that confers resistance to a broad range of beta-lactam antibiotics, making infections difficult to treat. NDM was first identified in 2008 in a patient in New Delhi, India, and has since been associated with global healthcare challenges due to its rapid spread.
