They warn Spain’s increase in extreme events due to bacterium that attacks the immune system

The study of Pelvidge Hospital has warned of rising cases of severe cases in Spain Infesionz war streptococcus discococotia SSP. Equismilies (STSE)Ovarian A bacterium that lives with manBut it can cause severe infections in weak immune systems.

Research, published in the magazine International magazine of infectious diseases And the collision Feligej Biomedical Research Institute (Idifel)Analysis of over 100 cases registered between 2012 and 2022.

Its funding has been carried out by the Carlos III Health Organization and has the cooperation of such centers Gregorio Maran University General Hospital (Madrid) .

As far as this situation is concerned, he has insisted that he is “Additional research to understand its evolution” This prevents the spread of very viral and anti -strains.

The most severe cases are affected for over 70 years

Researchers used advanced gene row techniques They have identified CC15, CC17 and CC20 campuses Most importantly, in animal models, CC20-STG62647 variation shows more ability to cause serious illnesses.

Strong cases of SDSE infection are mainly affected Are over 70 years of age And people with chronic diseases.

Although bacteria are part of the human microorpoid without causing complications in normal conditions, it can cause severe infections When the immune system is weakened Or there are open injuries.

The study warns of the lack of performance of macrolides, Commonly used antibiotics As a second option, alternatives such as linesolite or diploxacine have demonstrated more performance.
