Article Synopsis
- Managing burn injuries is complicated due to antibiotic resistance, prompting research into new treatments using live Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) as an alternative.
- The study assessed the antimicrobial properties of LAB from human breast milk and their effects on immune response in a burn wound infection model.
- Results showed LAB effectively inhibited harmful bacteria, improved larval survival rates, and influenced immune gene expression, suggesting LAB could be a promising option for burn wound care while minimizing antibiotic resistance.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a global threat, affecting one-quarter of the world's population. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 6 million people die annually due to chronic illnesses, a statistic that includes TB-related deaths. This high mortality is attributed to factors such as the emergence of drug-resistant strains and the exceptional survival mechanisms of (MTB).
