Shobhit University in the News

Science Corner: News for the world of Science and Technology

Taking antibiotics when they aren’t necessary could make the flu or other viral
infections worse, a new study suggests. Mice on antibiotics can’t fight the flu as
well as mice that haven’t taken the drugs. Antibiotics quash the immune system’s
infection-fighting power by killing friendly bacteria living in the intestines, the
researchers report in an upcoming Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences. These friendly, or “commensal,” bacteria help defend against viruses
by keeping the immune system on alert for viral invaders, the team discovered.
Scientists knew that friendly bacteria in the intestines could help stop disease-causing bacteria from setting up shop in the gut.
And previous experiments hinted that gut microbes could influence how well the immune system works, but researchers thought
the effect was mainly confined to the digestive system. Lungs are normally sterile, so it was a bit of a surprise that killing bacteria
as far away as the colon would have any effect on how well the lungs could fight viruses. If researchers can figure out which
bacteria are responsible, it may be possible to make probiotics that will boost virus-fighting capabilities.
