Honey can replace antibiotics
Dutch scientists have found that in the past, a new ingredient has never been known to effectively kill bacteria.
According to the Russian news agency Rosbalt, experts at the Department of Microbiology at the Amsterdam Medical Research Center have discovered the bee's immune system produces a protid called defensin-1 , which is found in bile .
Defensin-1 is found in bile, which is effective against bacteria.
They isolated this substance, determined its chemical formula and tested the healing effect. According to them, this protid can be used to treat burns and infections on the skin.
But not only that. The substance they discovered was able to fight off some of the 'greasy' pathogenic bacteria, so in some cases the current antibiotics could be replaced.
'It has long been known that honey has antimicrobial effects, but it is not known how to completely kill bacteria. For the first time in history, we have discovered the factors that contribute to the antibacterial activity of this natural product. One of those factors is defensine-1, an antimicrobial drug that medicine has never mentioned , 'said Dr. Paul Kwakman, of the Center for Medical Research.
He and his colleagues found that the substance killed many "greasy" bacteria with pathogenic antibiotics. Specifically, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (which cause boils and internal apices) have been greasy with methicillin, Enterococcus faecium (causing colitis, small intestine) greasy with vancomycin, Ppseudomonas aeruginosa (causing urinary tract infection) that is greasy with ciprofloxacin .
