World's Most Bad Frog Will contrived Antibiotics

News Health Articles - World's Most Bad Frog Will contrived Antibiotics. If it smells the human body, it means that sweat contains bacteria. However, in some species of frogs in China, the odor that wafted from the skin so that it is antibacterial antibiotics can be made so.

Some of the world's frog species most odor was described as having skin that smells like rotten fish. Species name is not mentioned, but said there are nine species of frogs that have been researched and odor compounds containing antibiotics.



Frogs usually live in warm habitats and somewhat humid. Because the environment as it is usually too much overgrown with bacteria, then the frog is adapted to remove compounds are efficacious antibacterial peptides.

Yun Zhang of the National Nature Science in China who led peneltiian said, there are about 700 antibacterial compounds that have been identified from nine species of frog odor. One of these compounds will be developed as a new antibiotic.

Interestingly, most of the antibacterial compounds found was not only efficacious only kill bacteria. Quoted from ScienceDaily, Friday (12/9/2011), these compounds also have a property to boost the immune system.

As is known, the world is currently experiencing a crisis of antibiotics due to mutations or genetic changes in bacteria that cause disease. Mutation that gives rise to super germs that are resistant to antibiotics less offset by the discovery of new antibiotics.

One of the triggers of mutation of bacteria, among others, the use of antibiotics is not rational. When used in an unregulated, antibiotics will fail to kill all the germs in the body and the remaining germs will form a stronger defense to become immune.
