Antibiotic resistance - the ability of pathogens to evolve and overcome the antibiotic preparations is about to collide with an unexpected ending. New research allows the silver to deter frighteningly rapid adaptation of microorganisms to the drugs, which the discovery of penicillin has increase exponentially. Currently, data on resistance to accumulate and it proved to be amplified, while the amount of new antibiotics in development or on the market falls.
There are thousands of written information about the healing power of silver. Today there are many homeopathic preparations containing precious metals. According to proponents of homeopathy silver enhances immunity and heals the body. These therapies, however, are unpredictable and sometimes have an effect sometimes - not. What is certain and confirmed, however we offer James Collins, a researcher from the University "Boston" Massachusetts.
His team has discovered how the metal in the form of dissolved ions, damaging bacteria. It makes them more membrane permeable and disrupts intracellular harmony of balance, leading to over-production of highly reactive and toxic oxygen compounds. When using silver solution in relatively small quantities as a supplement to the antibiotic, the scientific team found that the antibiotic kills from 10 to 1,000 times more bacteria. More permeable membranes allow more antibiotics to invade rogue cells, exacerbating the drug repeatedly.
Development of a pill is still in its infancy, as it should be considered the optimal amount of silver - enough to help, not harm. Even in moderate doses, it causes argyria - a disease in which the skin becomes permanent blue color. At higher doses, toxic effects are much more dangerous - mainly damage the cardiovascular system.
Scientists hope to understand the mechanism by which silver affects the cell walls and create a synthetic compound that perform the same functions, without incurring the side effects of the metal.
