A compound in human breast milk fights pathogenic bacteria.

Original title: A compound in human breast milk can fight pathogenic bacteria Us
A new study says a compound in human
cult milk
can fight infections caused by harmful
bugs
without affecting beneficial bacteria, adding new evidence that breast milk is good for
national
health.
researchers at the National Jewish Medical Research Center and the University of Iowa found that the level of laurel monoglycerides in human breast milk is about 200 times higher than in cow's milk. The paper is published in the new issue of the British journal Scientific Reports.
laurel monoglyceride is a compound that is naturally present in nature. While determining that human breast milk contains high levels of laurel monoglycerides, the researchers also found that human breast milk inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus aureus, and Bacillus difficile. In addition, breastfed infants have higher levels of Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus lactobacillus and other beneficial bacteria.
when researchers removed laurel monoglycerides from human breast milk, they found that they lost their ability to fight Staphylococcus aureus, while cow's milk also developed antibacterial resistance when it was added to laurel monoglycerides.
study also found that laurel monoglycerides inhibit inflammation in the skin cells. Epithel cells are mainly distributed in the intestines and other mucous membrane surfaces, while inflammation can cause epithelocellular damage, which can lead to bacterial and viral invasion.
researchers say the study adds new evidence to the argument that breast milk is good for infant health. Treating bacterial infections in infants with antibiotics kills both pathogenic and beneficial bacteria. In contrast, the laurel monoglycerides contained in breast milk are more selective and only fight infections caused by harmful bacteria.
