Hindustan Times : declared in Scientists find a new treatment for antibiotic-resistant bacteria

Researchers based at the University of Birmingham and Newcastle University in the UK have developed an alternative treatment for patients suffering from a rare lung disease caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The scientists were able to improve the health of a 65-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman suffering from bronchiectasis since adolescence with a new treatment pathway not using antibiotics. This treatment was found to restore the patients' ability to fight the bacteria, reducing the effects of chronic infection quickly and significantly without using antibiotics and with reduced hospitalisation time. Read moreBronchiectasis is a rare lung disease that is resistant to several types of antibiotics. In contrast to the protective effect normally associated with antibody, in these patients, the antibody stopped the immune system killing the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium and this worsened the patients' lung disease.
