    Recently, researchers from the University of Tübingen in Germany have developed a new experimental strategy to prevent and treat bacterial sepsis: instead of using antibiotics, acetate is used as the active ingredient to stimulate the body's own immune system

    Scientists from the “Controlling Microorganisms to Fight Infections” cluster of excellence, the Institute of Microbiology and Infection at the University of Tübingen, and the German Infection Research Center participated in this research


    The human body usually uses white blood cells to fight bacterial infections


    Dr.


    In animal experiments, researchers have proved that injecting acetate or drinking water containing acetate can improve the immune response of mice


    In addition, the researchers also found that the use of acetate after the onset of sepsis can also produce the same effect, which means that the immune response and infection defense are improved
