It has already been renamed as a healing ground, is located in the Boho Highlands, Fermanagh, Northern Ireland and enjoys an excellent reputation. Since the time of the Druids or perhaps the Neolithic, the soil has the capacity to cure a number of ailments. The new discovery was published on Phys.org.
“This new strain of bacteria is effective against 4 of the 6 major antibiotic-resistant pathogens, including MRSA. Our discovery is a major step forward in the fight against antibiotic resistance, ”said Paul Dyson of Swansea University Medical School, one of the researchers on the study.
According to scientists, resistant bacteria could kill as many as 1,3 million people in Europe between now and 2050, we often talk about it and the World Health Organization describes the problem as "one of the greatest threats to global health and development. ".
The research was conducted by the University of Swansea and by researchers from Wales, Brazil, Iraq and Northern Ireland who analyzed the alkaline grassland area that is said to be miraculous for ailments ranging from toothache to throat infections.
Basically a small amount of soil was wrapped in cotton cloth and used to heal many ailments. The soil managed to inhibit the growth of four of the six multi-resistant pathogens main identified, namely vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium (VRE), staphylococcus aureus-resistant methicillin pneumonia (MRSA), klebsiella and carbenepenem-resistant acetobacterium baumanii.
It managed to inhibit both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, which differ in the structure of their cell wall, usually gram-negative bacteria are more resistant to antibiotics. It is still unclear how this could happen, the team is already working to find out.
