一种自然界存在的食肉性细菌能与免疫系统合作清除斑马鱼体内多重耐药菌志贺氏杆菌。研究人员近日将相关成果发表于《当代生物学》期刊。这是噬菌蛭弧菌首次成功用于抗菌治疗,标志着向战胜耐药菌或超级细菌迈出了重要一步。志贺氏杆菌感染能引发腹泻,每年造成1.6亿病例,其中超过100万人死亡。而且,该病菌的耐药性愈加严重。于是,英国伦敦帝国理工学院和诺丁汉大学的研究团队,决定用蛭弧菌对 A naturally occurring cariogenic bacterium can cooperate with the immune system to eliminate multi-drug resistant Shigella in zebrafish. Researchers recently published the results in the journal Contemporary Biology. This is the first successful use of Bdellovibrio for antimicrobial therapy, marking an important step toward overcoming resistant bacteria or superbugs. Shigella infection can cause diarrhea, causing 160 million cases each year, of which more than 1 million people died. Moreover, the bacteria become more and more drug-resistant. Thus, the British Imperial College London and Nottingham University’s research team, decided to use Bdellovibrio pairs
