Cancer, acne, inflammation and candidiasis will be a thing of the past after a full trial of the drug, researchers assure, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35. net Soil bacteria will overcome thrush. Professor Boaz Mizrahi, his student Mayan Lupton and Dr. Ayelet Orbach from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering, are sure of this.. Israeli researcher says they have been able to cure fungal infections using bacteria commonly found in the top layers of the soil.

Fungal infections are common in animals, including humans. One of the main sources of such infections is Candida, a yeast that is regularly found in our bodies.. Candida exploits the body to spread and damage the host.

Most people experience a fungal infection at least once in their lives, in some part of their body - on the skin, in the digestive system, or in the genitals.. The frequency of fungal infections is constantly increasing due to the aging of the population and possibly global warming.. Additional causes include the use of drugs that suppress the immune system and increased use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which indirectly increase Candida proliferation by upsetting the balance of bacteria in the body..

The oral antifungals used today are associated with low efficacy and a range of side effects such as headaches and rashes, and in some cases life-threatening effects on the liver and kidneys.. In addition, strains of Candida resistant to existing drugs have already been found.. The team studied the option of treating the fungus using the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, which naturally produces and secretes substances that block the growth of candidiasis as the bacteria destroy it..

“Our first challenge,” Mizrahi said, “was to develop a transport system that would allow live bacteria to be applied to an infected lesion without compromising their ability to proliferate and secrete their therapeutic substances at the target site.”.

To do this, the researchers developed a gel that takes liquid form in the refrigerator and at room temperature..

“Its liquid form allows the gel to better penetrate into the deeper layer of the skin where the fungus usually resides,” the scientists said..

Within seconds after being applied to the infected area, the gel hardens. It contains nutrients, a kind of " The researchers said they hope their model of using live bacteria to treat fungal infections will be used in the future to treat a range of conditions, including psoriasis, acne, various inflammations and even cancer..
