"Innocent" food additives or "unintentional" lead to epidemics

U.S. scientists, using genome-wide sequencing and comparison, believe that the highly toxic strain of Clostridium difficile has acquired a mechanism for metabolic seaweed sugar, which is linked to disease, according to a recent microbiology paper published in the British journal
. Data show that it is likely that it is a widely used food additives, "unintentionally" led to the emergence of these endemic strains.
Acsobacteria is an intestinal pathogen that, if overdosed on certain antibiotics in humans or animals, can cause the Voracuda swarm to grow too fast, affecting other bacteria in the gut and causing inflammation, so it is considered the main cause of antibiotic-related diarrhea.
scientists know that by analyzing the differences in RNA (i.e. rRNA) of bacterial strains, they can determine their specific RNA body type. This time, Robert Brereton, a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine in the United States, and his colleagues, using genome-wide sequencing and comparative analysis, found that two difficult Thyrobacteria high-toxic epidemic cytosometomes, RT027 and RT078, which differ significantly in systemic occurrence, have independently obtained mechanisms for metabolic low concentrations of seaweed sugar. In other words, these two types of cytomegas are constantly mutated, increasing the ability of Trollibacteria to grow in low-concentration seaweed sugars. What's more, this ability is associated with the severity of the disease in the humanized mouse model.
data revealed that the emergence of the kerucose body type is related to a sugar additive, which is widely used in the human diet of seaweed sugar. The researchers say the link could suggest that a food additive that is itself "harmless" may also have "unintentionally" contributed to the emergence of pathogens.
