Hornet bee venom can help people fight the virus
MIT researchers have discovered an antibacterial ability in the venom of wasps Polybia paulista - a dangerous wasp bee in southeastern Brazil.
MIT researchers have discovered an antibacterial ability in the venom of wasps Polybia paulista - a dangerous wasp bee in southeastern Brazil.
According to researchers, in Brazil's wasp venom contains a poison called MP1.
This poison of wasps Polybia paulista can create variants that are resistant to viruses but are not toxic to human cells.
Extremely poisonous wasp poison venom in Brazil has the ability to help people resist antibiotic resistant viruses.
The new discovery by MIT scientists could open a new direction in creating drugs that kill antibiotic-resistant viruses in the near future.
In the experimental study of mice, the researchers discovered their strongest peptide (protein segments) that completely removed Pseudomonas aeruginosa , a strain of bacteria that causes respiratory disease and infections. Other and most antibiotic resistant.
'We have reused a toxic molecule into a more viable molecule to treat infections. By systematically analyzing the structure and function of peptides, we were able to adjust their properties and activities.
After four days, the compound used could completely eliminate the infection. That's quite surprising and interesting because we often don't see other anti-microbial drugs or antibiotics we've tested before , ' said Cesar de la Fuente-Nunez, a researcher from MIT said.
