  abstract = {{G}ram-negative carbapenem-resistant bacteria, in particular those producing {N}ew {D}elhi {M}etallo-betalactamase- 1 ({NDM}-1), are a major global health problem. {T}o inform the scientific and medical community in real time about worldwide dissemination of isolates of {NDM}-1-producing bacteria, we used the {P}ub{M}ed database to review all available publications from the first description in 2009 up to 31 {D}ecember 2012, and created a regularly updated worldwide dissemination map using a web-based mapping application. {W}e retrieved 33 reviews, and 136 case reports describing 950 isolates of {NDM}-1-producing bacteria. {K}lebsiella pneumoniae (n= 359) and {E}scherichia coli (n= 268) were the most commonly reported bacteria producing {NDM}-1 enzyme. {S}everal case reports of infections due to imported {NDM}-1 producing bacteria have been reported in a number of countries, including the {U}nited {K}ingdom, {I}taly, and {O}man. {I}n most cases (132/153, 86.3%), patients had connections with the {I}ndian subcontinent or {B}alkan countries. {T}hose infected were originally from these areas, had either spent time and/or been hospitalised there, or were potentially linked to other patients who had been hospitalised in these regions. {B}y using {G}oogle {M}aps, we were able to trace spread of {NDM}-1-producing bacteria. {W}e strongly encourage epidemiologists to use these types of interactive tools for surveillance purposes and use the information to prevent the spread and outbreaks of such bacteria.},
