Un remediu medieval din urmă cu 1.000 de ani ar putea combate rezistența la antibiotice. Ce ingrediente are? • Newsweek România

A medieval remedy from the 10th century has shown potential in combating antibiotic resistance. Researchers recreated a treatment from an ancient English manuscript, finding it more effective than modern antibiotics. The remedy, which includes garlic, onion, bile, and wine, disrupts bacterial membranes and gene expression, making it harder for bacteria to develop resistance. Tests revealed that harmful bacteria adapted more slowly to this mixture compared to conventional antibiotics. The study highlights the possibility of developing new medications inspired by historical treatments, although practical application in modern medicine would require careful formulation.
