Oyster blood protein helps fight against superbugs

Oyster blood: A new frontier in fighting infection
Researchers have discovered that proteins found in oyster blood have bacteria-killing properties and can boost the effectiveness of some common antibiotics whose use has been negatively affected by the global rise in drug resistance.
Expert Discovery: Oyster Blood Protein Could Revolutionize Fight Against Antibiotic-Resistant Superbugs
Researchers uncover a protein in Australian oyster blood that boosts antibiotic effectiveness and fights superbugs, offering new hope in combating antimicrobial resistance.
Oyster Blood Could Be Vital in The Fight Against Superbugs
In new research published today in PLOS ONE, we show that antimicrobial proteins isolated from oyster hemolymph (the equivalent of blood) can kill certain bacteria responsible for a range of infections. The proteins can also improve the efficacy of conventional antibiotics against problematic bacteria species.
Oyster Blood Shows Potential Against Superbugs
Superbugs that are resistant to existing antibiotics are a growing health problem around the world. Globally, nearly five million people die from
Discovery shows oyster blood proteins improve antibiotic effectiveness
While slurping oysters is not likely to replace popping a pill, they could help in the fight against superbugs. A groundbreaking find by Southern Cross University has shown oysters might be able to help treat a growing worldwide public health problem: antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Oyster blood protein helps fight against superbugs: Study
Sydney: A protein found in the blood of Australian oysters could help in the fight against antibiotic-resistant superbugs, according to a study published on Tuesday. The study led by a team from Australia's Southern Cross University (SCU) discovered that a protein in the blood of the Sydney rock oyster is capable of killing bacteria as well as
Scientists suggest oyster ‘blood’ can improve efficacy of antibiotics
Super bugs resistant to existing antibiotics are a growing health problem around the world. Now, scientists believe they've found a possible solution in oysters. Marine scientist Kirsten Benkendorff says the research was sparked because oysters have strong immune defences.
