A single course of antibiotics affects the gut microbiota of infants

April 30, 2022 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

A study recently completed at the University of Helsinki revealed that the fungal microbiota in the gut is more abundant and diverse in children treated with antibiotics compared with the control group even six weeks following the start of the antibiotic course. In light of the findings, a reduction in the number of gut bacteria […]

Probiotic-containing yogurt protects against microbiome changes that lead to antibiotic-induced diarrhea

September 16, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Eating yogurt containing a particular strain of a well-studied probiotic appears to protect against harmful changes in the gut microbiome that are associated with antibiotic administration. That is the finding from a new randomized clinical trial, led by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Maryland (UMSOM), the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy […]

Antibiotics destroy ‘good bacteria’ and worsen oral infection

June 29, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Research shows that the body’s own microbes are effective in maintaining immune cells and killing certain oral infections. A team of Case Western Reserve University researchers found that antibiotics actually kill the “good” bacteria keeping infection and inflammation at bay. Scientists have long known that overuse of antibiotics can do more harm than good. For […]

Manuka honey to kill drug-resistant bacteria found in cystic fibrosis infections

January 24, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Manuka honey could provide the key to a breakthrough treatment for cystic fibrosis patients following preliminary work by experts at Swansea University. Dr Rowena Jenkins and Dr Aled Roberts have found that using Manuka honey could offer an antibiotic alternative to treat antimicrobial resistant respiratory infections, particularly deadly bacteria found in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) infections. […]

Cannabidiol is a powerful new antibiotic

January 17, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

New research has found that Cannnabidiol is active against Gram-positive bacteria, including those responsible for many serious infections (such as Staphyloccocus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae), with potency similar to that of established antibiotics such as vancomycin or daptomycin. The research is presented at ASM Microbe, the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. Cannabidiol, […]

Researchers uncover hidden antibiotic potential of cannabis

October 14, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

McMaster University researchers have identified an antibacterial compound made by cannabis plants that may serve as a lead for new drug development. An interdisciplinary team of McMaster researchers found that the chemical compound, or cannabinoid, called cannabigerol (CBG) is not only antibacterial but also effective in mice against a resilient family of bacteria known as […]

Maple syrup extract enhances antibiotic action

October 27, 2019 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Antibiotics save lives every day, but there is a downside to their ubiquity. High doses can kill healthy cells along with infection-causing bacteria, while also spurring the creation of “superbugs” that no longer respond to known antibiotics. Now, researchers may have found a natural way to cut down on antibiotic use without sacrificing health: a […]

Chemical added to consumer products impairs response to antibiotic treatment

February 22, 2019 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Grocery store aisles are stocked with products that promise to kill bacteria. People snap up those items to protect themselves from the germs that make them sick. However, new research from Washington University in St. Louis finds that a chemical that is supposed to kill bacteria is actually making them stronger and more capable of […]

Toothpaste And Hand Wash Are Causing Antibiotic Resistance

June 20, 2018 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

A common ingredient in toothpaste and hand wash could be contributing to antibiotic resistance, according to University of Queensland research. A study led by Dr Jianhua Guo from UQ’s Advanced Water Management Centre focused on triclosan, a compound used in more than 2000 personal care products. Dr Guo said while it was well-known the overuse […]

New Research Suggests Common Herbicides Are Linked To Antibiotic Resistance

January 11, 2018 by Captain Organic Planet Leave a Comment

Antibiotics are losing their ability to kill bacteria. One of the main reasons for the rise in antibiotic resistance is the improper use of antibiotics, but our latest research shows that the ingredients in commonly-used weed killers like Round-up and Kamba can also cause bacteria to become less susceptible to antibiotics. Herbicides induce gene activity Already, about […]
