Fight MRSA With A Frog

May 4th, 2007 · No Comments

BullFrogHmm. It is interesting to me how Mother Nature holds the secrets to taking care of us. Sometimes all of the artifical compounds in the world don’t hold a candle to something already here on this earth.

This isn’t the answer to MRSA yet - it remains to be seen - but researchers have developed a new treatment that kills MRSA made from a protien secreted from a species of American Bullfrogs. This protein called ranalexin is combined with an enzyme, lysostaphin, and have a “potent and significant” effect on MRSA.

The research team has applied for more grants so they can continue their research, so here’s hoping they have found something significant.
