Oysters Carry Protein That Kills Bacteria Behind Pneumonia, Strep Throat, and Scarlet Fever: Study
60% Informative
A protein found in oysters has been identified as an outright killer of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
The discovery was made by scientists in Australia who found the protein in the bivalve’s hemolymphs,’ cells that act a little like blood cells in humans.
The oyster protein on its own killed S. pneumoniae and S. pyogenes, but when combined with antibiotics, the effect was between 2 and 32 times greater.
