India’s medical establishment has strongly criticised a study published in a leading UK medical journal that suggests Indian hospitals are the source of a new drug-resistant superbug that is spreading globally and that warns against travel to the subcontinent for medical treatments.

Health officials called the findings published in The Lancet “unscientific” and “economically motivated”, taking particular umbrage at the naming of the gene found to have made bacteria resistant to antibiotics as New Delhi metallo-beta lactamese, or NDM-1.
