U.S. researchers said Tuesday they have found that heavy metal palladium is expected to be used to develop new antibiotics to fight the "superbug" of green pus.
can cause infections such as the lungs, urinary tract and wounds. Patients with cancer and AIDS are vulnerable to the bacteria because of their impaired ability to fight infection,
the
. Finding new antibiotics to fight this "superbug" has been a goal for researchers.
In a new paper published in the journal Science translational science, researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine say iron is a key nutrient needed for green pus to infect the body, and radon is a metal structurally similar to iron. They found that radon would "trick" the bacteria into misplacing it as iron. In practice, however, once the bacteria are "mistakenly inged", the mechanism by which Bacillus green is synthesized into new DNA (deoxybonucleic acid) is destroyed, preventing the growth of Bacillus green.
laboratory studies have shown that although E. coli can also develop resistance to radon, it is much slower to develop resistance. In addition, the use of radon with some existing antibiotics can enhance the ability of the drug. Experiments in mice have shown that a single dose can cure a fatal lung infection.
addition, the first phase of clinical trials of 20 patients with cystic fibrosis and patients with refractic lung infections caused by Cystic bacteria showed that radon improved lung infections and was very safe.
