Oysters’ Antimicrobial Properties:
According to new research, antimicrobial proteins isolated from oyster hemolymph (the equivalent of blood) can kill certain drug resistant-bacteria.The proteins can also improve the efficacy of conventional antibiotics against resistant bacteria species. Antimicrobial proteins and peptides from oyster hemolymph can:Kill bacteria like Streptococcus spp., responsible for pneumonia, tonsillitis, and rheumatic fever. It Inhibit and penetrate biofilms that protect bacteria from antibiotics and immune responses.
It Enhance conventional antibiotics’ efficacy by 2 to 32 times.
