Acne e mulheres adultas?

https://catracalivre.com.br/saude-bem-estar/pesquisadores-descobrem-a-causa-da-acne-adulta/

Citando:
"A bactéria Propionibacterium acnes aparece tanto em peles sadias quanto nas com acne. Nesse segundo grupo, a concentração desses receptores é maior e com um grau de ativação superior, tanto nas áreas acometidas pelas espinhas como nas áreas limpas. De acordo com o professor, essa é uma característica genética.

Além disso, o estudo aponta outros fatores responsáveis por contribuir para o surgimento da acne na fase adulta. São eles: estresse, má alimentação, tabagismo, exposição a raios solares, oleosidade excessiva, menopausa, gravidez, privação do sono, entre outros"

"“I looked at her hand right away. It looked just like a little kitchen cut.”

Capnocytophaga is a relatively common bacteria in dogs and cats. It’s harmless to them, but it can sicken humans. People with low immune systems are most at risk, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but even then, infection is unlikely."

As 12 bactérias mais perigosas do mundo

A lista:

Citando:
"The most critical group of all includes multidrug resistant bacteria that pose a particular threat in hospitals, nursing homes, and among patients whose care requires devices such as ventilators and blood catheters. They include Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and various Enterobacteriaceae (including Klebsiella, E. coli, Serratia, and Proteus). They can cause severe and often deadly infections such as bloodstream infections and pneumonia.

These bacteria have become resistant to a large number of antibiotics, including carbapenems and third generation cephalosporins – the best available antibiotics for treating multi-drug resistant bacteria.

The second and third tiers in the list – the high and medium priority categories – contain other increasingly drug-resistant bacteria that cause more common diseases such as gonorrhoea and food poisoning caused by salmonella."

Terapia não invasiva de cancro da próstata (laser)...

Citando:
"A clinical trial has shown that a new, non-surgical method of treatment for low-risk prostate cancer can effectively kill cancer cells whilst at the same time preserving healthy tissue.
The new treatment is called vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy, or VTP. According to University College London Hospitals (UCLH), the treatment uses a light-sensitive drug, which is injected into the bloodstream. A laser then activates the drug, which eradicates tumour tissue in the prostate.



The drug used is called WST11 and comes from bacteria found at the bottom of the ocean. These bacteria have evolved to turn light into energy in a very efficient way. This trait has been exploited to develop WST11, which UCLH describes as “a compound that releases free radicals to kill surrounding cells when activated by laser light.”"

"Colistin is the antibiotic of last resort for particularly dangerous types of superbugs, including a family of bacteria known as CRE, which health officials have dubbed “nightmare bacteria.” In some instances, these superbugs kill up to 50 percent of patients who become infected."

"Frozen samples are being shipped around the country from a laboratory outside Portsmouth to relieve thousands sufferers of a previously incurable gut problem.
Every year in England more than 13,000 people suffer from Clostridium difficile, and one in five do not respond to conventional treatment.
The condition, which appears to be a side effect of antibiotics, causes people to lose control of their bowels."
