Find out the bacteria that causes death in humans

It is worth noting that in the past, scientists have classified this bacterium into benign benign forms because they are not aware of its ability to secrete toxic bubbles.

A new study has found a bacterium that can secrete tiny bubbles containing premature toxins and stillbirths in pregnant women. Called Group B Streptococcus , these bacteria live in the vagina of 20-30% of pregnant women worldwide. Strep B does not cause any disorder in the genital area. However, in pregnant mice, B Strep secretes protein bubbles that are able to enter the uterus . These bubbles cause inflammation and weaken the fetus in the amniotic sac.

There are many causes of stillbirth and there are many cases of stillbirths that cannot be found. It is thought that 20 to 50% of stillbirths do not find a cause. Previously, scientists did not think that Strep B could affect pregnancy. They do not know that these bacteria are capable of equipping such a terrifying "ranged weapon" .

"The danger is not the bacteria but the things they make, " said microbiologist Lakshmi Rajagopal of the Seattle State Children's Research Institute.

By using electronic scanning technology microscope, researchers from the Bombay Institute of Technology in India have discovered small spheres produced by Strep B bacteria. Inside they are filled with liquids that are corrosive proteins . Scientists also discovered that, in mice, these bubbles can move from the vagina into the uterus. There, poisonous spheres will cause massive cell death and deplete collagen in the amniotic sac. From there, causing inflammation, premature birth and stillbirth. Almost all newborn rats that have been exposed to this toxin died in the womb or premature birth.

Scientists have not yet discovered the reason why B-Strep releases such toxins. But they propose the hypothesis that Strep B uses poison to kill other bacteria in order to compete with the environment. This new finding underscores the need to develop a vaccine against Strep B. In the future. In the future, doctors will check pregnant women and use antibiotics soon for them if there are positive test results for bacteria.

Once ruptured, the infection occurs very quickly and very badly.

The basic feature of stillbirth is sterility , although the fetus dies and stays in the uterus but is sealed by the cervical mucus node, making it non-invasive. In contrast, once ruptured, the infection occurred very quickly and very badly. In many cases of stillbirth, it is difficult to find the cause. When the fetus dies, it poses two major risks for the mother:

1. Coagulation disorders in the form of bleeding because of blood clotting scattered in the heart.
2. The infection is rapid and severe when the membranes rupture for a long time.

Besides, there are also more or less influences on the emotional sentiment of mothers, especially in rare cases. Pregnancy in the womb is always a trauma to the mother, needs the support of the people around, especially the medical staff.
