Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have successfully treated skin infections in mice using bacteria found in healthy cats
This research was published in eLife on October 19, 2021.
There are hundreds of types of bacteria on the skin, and they play an important role in skin health, immunity and fighting infections
"Our health depends entirely on these'good' bacteria," Gallo said
This is the case with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSP), which is usually found in domestic animals and becomes infectious when the animals are sick or injured
To solve this problem, the researchers first screened a pool of bacteria that usually live in dogs and cats, and cultivated them in the presence of MRSP
"The capabilities of this species are extreme," Gallo said
Bacteria can easily develop resistance to an antibiotic
After determining how S.
The next step includes a clinical trial plan to determine whether S.
While developing these products, what should pet owners do?
"Don't stop bathing your pets to keep these'good' bacteria on them," Gallo said
Gallo said: "It is even possible that living with healthy cats can provide humans with some protection against MRSP, so this may be an argument in favor of keeping pets
