Protein In Breast Milk Could Wipe Out Superbugs
news.sky.com
Part of a protein in human breast milk could be used to destroy certain types of drug-resistant bacteria, according to UK scientists.
Lactoferrin effectively kills bacteria, fungi and even viruses on contact, a study by the National Physical Laboratory and University College London found.
It is hoped the discovery could help boost the fight against the growing issue of antibiotic resistance and even be used to tackle previously incurable diseases such as sickle-cell disease.
The fragment, less than a nanometre in width, is responsible for giving the protein its anti-microbial properties.
This is what makes breast milk so important in protecting babies from diseases in their first months of life.
