Natural germs can be prevented by the specific uterine germs, preventing acute flu.

The beans residing in the intestine are not just food. They have remote effects on the immune system. Now, a new study has shown that a special micro-organism can prevent serious flu infections in the brain, possibly by breaking contagious compounds - called flavonoids - usually black tea, red wine and blueberries.

Researchers from the University of St. Louis University scientist Master of Medicine of St. Louis, this study indicates that this strategy is effective in protecting against flu from harm. When the attacks start before the infection of the influenza virus. This task can help to explain the diversity of influenza infections.

The study published on August 4 in the science paper.

"For several years, Flavonovide has been asked to have a protective properties that helps control the immune system against infection," said childhood teacher Professor Ashley El Steed. "Flavonoids are common in our diet, so one of the important concepts of our research is that Fluvonoids works by the uterus germs to prevent flu from the fluenoid and from other viruses. Clearly, we have to learn more, but our results are the plotter."

Influenza - characterized by fever, cough and body ache - a general and sometimes deadly viral infection of the upper respiration. The elderly, pregnant women, young people and chronic health problems such as asthma, heart disease etc cause serious flu complications. Since 2004, every year 113 babies die from influenza in the United States. Worldwide, the World Health Organization estimates about 250,000 to 500,000 flu deaths happen every year.

Previous evidence suggests that microbiomym can be important in protecting against intense influenza infections, so researchers in this study found that what the germs can provide for this protection. In addition, over the years, Nutritionists have discovered potential health benefits related to foods loaded with flavonoids

"Not only is a diet rich in flovonoids, our results show that you need proper microbes in antibiotics so that these flavonoids can control immune response," said researcher's senior author Thadoods S. Stapenzbach, MD, PhD. Canon Professor of Pathology and Immunology "We have detected at least one type of bacteria that uses these dietary compounds to improve the interferon, a signal molecule that gives the immune response, which inhibits the transmission of lung infection in mice, such as people with pneumonia.

As part of the research, researchers examined the people Git Meerburns and found that metabolized Flavonoids Stappenbeck and Steed they suspected that detecting a type of microbac that could protect against flu damage. Microbes, known as clostridium orbisindone, disturb the flavonodija to create a metabolite that increases interferon signaling.

Stade said, "Metabolite is called desininotoxine, otherwise it is known as DH". "When we gave the rat a date and then transmitted it with influenza, then less fat was affected by fat than the treatment with soil data."

Obviously, although there were no flu infections in late-lunged lungs, they had fetal infection levels like fat patients, who did not receive treatment.

"Infections were essentially the same," said Stappenbeck. "Microbes and DAT did not protect themselves from infection, this rat was still a virus, but the date protects the lung tissue from damage."

This is important because annual flu vaccines are not always effective in preventing infection.

Steve said, "But with the date, if they can be infected, they can prevent patients from being seriously ill." "This strategy does not target the virus, rather it targets the immune response to the virus. It can be embedded because there are challenges with therapies and vaccines that cause influenza viruses due to viral infection."

The next steps identify the other intestinal germs that can make use of flavonos to affect the amoeon system, as well as those whose intestines can not be adequately colonized with microbes. When the future studies are planned, researchers say that it can not eat black tea and eat flavonives-rich food before the start of the flu season.
