Scientists from New York University (New York University), USA, revealed a protective mechanism in bacteria that allows them to resist antibiotics. The study showed that nitrogen oxide by bacteria, eliminates the key effects of many types antibiotikov.Obnaruzhilos also that nitric oxide reduces the damage inflicted by antibiotics, and helps to neutralize toxic substances mnnogie medicines. A blocking of nitric oxide in bacteria makes it possible to use smaller and less toxic doses of antibiotics, reports the BBC News.Rezistentnost to antibiotics, observed, for example, by Staphylococcus aureus, causes more problems and leads doctors to develop more new medicines. American experts hope their discovery will increase the efficiency of existing antibiotikov.Napomnim today that the World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly warned of the dangers of antibiotic-resistant forms of bacteria. According to the organization, up to 4% of cases of tuberculosis resistant to all known medicines. Especially critical is the situation in some countries of the former USSR, where the proportion of tuberculosis that are resistant to antibiotics, up to 20%. Up to 60% of cases of tuberculosis in a form resistant to antibiotics accounted for four of the region: Russia, India, China and South Africa. This means that the epidemic of resistant (resistant to antibiotics) TB can expect a planet in the near buduschem.V last year, a new form of antibiotic-resistant meningitis and pneumonia was diagnosed in children in South Africa. Over the past six years, was discovered 12 cases of a new form of the disease, with five of these patients could not be saved. The cause of these diseases, scientists say too extensive use of very strong antibiotics for the treatment of intractable forms of tuberculosis. That is what led to the emergence of resistant forms of pneumococcal disease, which include meningitis, pneumonia and sepsis.
