It is known that health agencies around the world are trying to reduce the use of antibiotics. Because the overuse of antibiotics in recent years has made drugs less effective, leading to the emergence of "bacteria" - strains of bacteria have developed resistance to many different antibiotics.

The mushroom compound discovered by Chinese scientists has revealed antibacterial properties. Now, they were able to obtain these compounds in really large quantities to test the official antibiotic activity.

As the experiments have shown, the compound has proven effective in combating different strains of bacteria. In fact, the mushroom compound even proved to be superior to some known antibiotics. Animal tests have proven that fungal compounds do not pose a health threat.

Yun He, a researcher at Chongqing University, told Xinhua that the mushroom compound works well in an experiment against a variety of bacterial strains and that scientists will continue to study safety. its for humans.
