Pseudomonas

A specific and particularly successful phage named PASA16 discovered by the Israeli center treated 16 patients, most of them severe, and it demonstrates the high potential effectiveness of treatment in dealing with challenging and antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

Bacteria that are carried in the air for great distances on particles land in part on the ground while they are alive - and ready to multiply
The nano 'spikes' formed from a combination of copper with the polysaccharide, cause damage to the bacteria's membrane and thus kill them. From a study by Prof. Ariel Kushmaro Credit: Sharon Amalani, Ben Gurion University

Micro-robots swim in the lungs and kill bacteria

Nanotechnology engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed tiny robots - micro-robots, in their full name - that are able to swim inside the lungs, reach the bacteria that cause pneumonia, kill them and reverse the damage they do to the body

Although their name was given to them due to their function on the tongue, the bitter and sweet taste receptors were recently discovered in various tissues and organs that do not come into contact with food. In at least some of these areas of the body, especially the respiratory tract, these taste receptors play an important role in the immune response. Illustration: pixabay.
