Gut bacteria are expected to prevent salmonella food poisoning

a new study led by Stanford University in the United States has found that raising levels of a gut bacteria may help prevent food poisoning caused by salmonella infections.
researchers report in a new issue of the U.S. journal
that they have observed in mouse experiments that mice rich in anthropobacteria are effective in suppressing salmonella. In the metabolic process, pyridoxine produces a series of short-chain fatty acids, including formic acid, acetic acid and propy acid, and the acrylic content is particularly high in mice with better anti-salmonella effect.
researchers point out that many short-chain fatty acids improve immunity in mice, but this is not the case with propic acid, which directly inhibits the growth of salmonella by significantly increasing the acidity within salmonella, thereby prolonging the time it takes to multiply and grow.
Monak of Stanford University, who was in charge of the study, said in a statement: 'Everyone reacts differently after being infected with bacteria, some are sick and some are safe. "Why different people react differently has always been a mystery, and our findings may provide some explanation for this phenomenon."
researchers hope the latest findings offer new ideas for treating salmonella infections. Currently, the treatment of food poisoning caused by salmonella infections sometimes involves the use of antibiotics, which may not only increase bacterial resistance, but may also kill "good" bacteria in the intestines, making the condition worse. Treating propylene acid produced by Bacillus anthropobacteria may help overcome these problems.
salmonella is a common food-source pathogenic bacteria, human infection with this bacteria will appear fever, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms, the disease often lasts 4 to 7 days, in severe cases will die. Children under 5 years of age, people over 65 years of age or people with immune impairments are more likely to be infected with the bacteria. (Source: Xinhua News Agency)
