A new study is related to recommendations for the use of antibiotics, confirming that a long course of antibiotics may not always be the best solution and that a shorter treatment may sometimes prove to be more effective. (translated)
Researchers from Tallinn University of Technology discovered that extracts of the commonly found stump fungus (Fomitopsis pinicola) in Estonia may effectively inhibit the growth of Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease, as well as several antibiotic-resistant hospital bacteria, including Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii, offering hope for the development of new natural antimicrobial treatments.

A study conducted by researchers from the Estonian University of Life Sciences together with Ukrainian colleagues shows that armed conflicts accelerate the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, as environmental pollution and the deterioration of health care systems in war zones lead to increased drug resistance.

Uus rahvusvaheline uuring hoiatab, et aastaks 2035 kaotavad mitmed antibiootikumid oma toime, eriti laste raskete nakkushaiguste puhul, kuna ravimiresistentsus võib tõusta üle 80% ja see ohustab enim haavatavaid patsiente, sealhulgas väikelapsi, kes on haigustekitajatele eriti vastuvõtlikud. #antibiootikumiresistentsus #lapsed #nakkus
Kanada teadlased avastasid mullabakterist Streptomyces haruldase geeniklastri, mis toodab korraga viiest ühendist koosnevat antibiootikumikokteili, mis sihib bakterite biotiini tootmist, andes uus looduslik relv antibiootikumiresistentsete superbakterite vastu. #antibiootikumid #bakterid #antibiootikumiresistentsus
Bakterite kiire kohandumine antibiootikumidega on kaasaegse meditsiini suurim kriis, muutes vanad ravimid mõjuvtuks ning seades ohtu lihtsate haiguste, nagu põletike ja lõikehaavade, ravimise. #antibiootikumid #bakterid #tervishoid
