Chilean avocado can play a role in combating resistance to antibiotics, according to a new study. The study, published in the magazine

microbial chemotherapy shows that the substance in Chilean avocado can imprison in the resistance mechanism of Staphylococcus aureus (called yellow staphylococcus in the study and usually known as "staphylococcus infection). This type of bacteria number 1 cause of postoperative wound infection and can cause many troubles from sepsis to food poisoning. Avocado works in conjunction with traditional antibiotics to treat infections resistant to antibiotics alone. The researchers explained that the connection in avocados can reduce the "MIC level" antibiotic. MIC level is a low strattera price concentration of antibiotic required to stop the growth of bacteria. In this case, avocado connection reduced MIC levels of antibiotic at eight times. Study researcher Jes Gitz Heller, University of Copenhagen, explained as avocados help antibiotics. "The resistance of bacteria in the pump end of the bacterial membrane, which effectively pump out antibiotics as soon as they have access," Heller said in a statement. "I identified a natural substance that inhibits the action of pumping, so the defense mechanisms of bacteria divided and antibiotic treatment can work."

Listyev of avocado plants are used for wound healing in mapuche in Chile, the scientists explain. Avocados are not the only thing that has shown promise in combating infection. Scientific American reported on research in the journal Microbiology, demonstrating that - honey from the flowers of tea tree - can kill streptococcal bacteria in laboratory tests. .
