Extract from this fruit can fight deadly bacteria

Wild strawberry extract from wild strawberry in Brazil is used by native physicians in South America for centuries and they can provide new methods against antibiotic-resistant viruses.

Researchers believe that red berries grown wild in Brazil (also known as Peppertree fruit - schinus terebinthifolia) contain a compound that can control MRSA activity - the dangerous bacteria that are resistant to many normal birth.

According to researchers at Emory University, extracting from the Brazilian Peppertree fruit can prevent the development of skin lesions.

MRSA - short for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus - is the most common bacteria causing skin damage. However, if serious infections can be life-threatening. Estimates show that antibiotic resistance affects about 11,000 deaths in the United States each year.

Researchers at Emory University have stated that an extract of the Brazilian Peppertree fruit can prevent the development of skin lesions of MSRA-infected mice in their experiment by disabling one genes that bacteria use to communicate. This is a new discovery about the mechanism of action and the effectiveness of an ancient remedy.

"Traditional Amazon physicians have used Peppertree Brazil for hundreds of years to treat skin and soft tissue infections," said researcher Cassandra Quave, who discovered this when investigating indigenous culture in cure for new remedies: "We have analyzed the chemical components as well as tested the resistance to pathogenic bacteria and the results have helped discover the healing mechanism of this fruit".

Extract - called 430D-F5 - consists of a mixture of 27 chemicals. When it was administered to mice infected with MSRA, skin lesions did not develop further while the untreated group continued to be infected, resulting in death.

According to the team, these compounds cannot kill bacteria, but have disabled a gene that allows viruses to communicate with each other. This gene governs the signaling system of bacteria called representative sensors.

"In essence, when the bacteria cannot communicate with each other, they will prevent them from eliminating toxins that can damage tissue, our body's immune system will have a better chance to cure heal a wound, "Quave said.

"Traditional Amazon doctors have used Peppertree Brazil for hundreds of years to treat skin and soft tissue infections."

Although it is possible to neutralize MSRA viruses, extracting no side effects can harm the lab rats or their skin tissues, however, and absolutely do not affect healthy bacteria. strong on the skin of animals - it only prevents bacteria that produce toxins that cause boils and sores.

This is like a form of deception that makes bacteria think that they exist separately rather than one group. When they are alone, they will have a different mechanism of action than when they are in a group. The ability to disable MSRA of 430D-F5 has only been demonstrated in mice. Researchers hope that, in the near future, new methods of application can be used to treat infections in humans. Since long ago, Brazilian Pepper Tree has been a traditional remedy long used in covering infected and sore wounds.

These compounds provide a way to kill more delicate bacteria than the use of antibiotics - which can lead to some bacteria developing into dangerous mutant strains that are resistant to common antibiotics.

"In some cases, you need to use a lot of antibiotics to treat a patient, but instead of always looking for ways to kill the bacteria, there are situations that need to be used. Antitrust will be highly effective, while also helping restore the balance to the health of patients, " Quave explained in a press release.

It is important to note that the aerial compound actually kills the bacteria, not a cure for MRSA, as the treated mice are still infected, but the researchers said, only need a single dose, the extract has a positive effect for up to two weeks, and will be applied to the study of treatments with other compounds or antibiotics simultaneously in the future.

It is important to note that because the compound does not actually kill the bacteria, it is not a cure for MRSA.

The team is currently seeking to extract Brazilian Peppertree for use in humans safely and effectively because nature is not always safe. There are many things in the natural world that can hurt you if you use them incorrectly.
