The new bug is resistant to almost all antibiotics and there are none in development which can combat it meaning it is likely to spread worldwide, according to international experts.

The Enzyme attaches its self to the E.Coli bacteria etc prevent the E.Coli from breading and you stop the Enzyme from spreading.
The NMD-1 Enzyme grows in the gut but I guess if you live in a clean sterile environment the spread and growth of these “Super Bugs” would be much less.
