Staph infections are something that we see at the office in San Diego when it comes to sports injuries. As a chiropractor in San Diego, I see all sorts of conditions relating to back pain. And with many patients come all sorts of questions about different health related problems.
Staphylococcus aureus can cause a bunch of health problems, including minor skin rashes to serious skin and life threatening blood infections that require immediate hospitalization. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is a growing public health problem in hospitals, nursing homes, and other institutions because it doesn't respond to most antibiotics.
According to ScienceDaily, a recent study tested healthy females and found that drinking cranberry juice cocktail stopped both E. Coli and Staphylococcus aureus from forming biofilms. "Staph" causes infections by first adhering to the host. This is usually made by contact with the skin - especially if the skin is scraped or cut. The "staph" clings to the host and multiplies rapidly - forming a group or colony called a biofilm.
E. Coli is the bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections. Researchers believe the bacteria cannot cause infections if it cannot adhere to the surface and from biofilms. Terri Camesano, Professor of Chemical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) said, "What was surprising is that Staphylococcus aureus showed the most significant results in this study. We saw essentially no biofilm in the staph samples, which is very surprising because Staph aureus is usually very good at forming biofilms. That's what makes it such a health problem."
Carissa Hang can be reached at New Century Spine Centers in San Diego by calling 619-630-9153. Researchers also said these results "create more questions than answers." More research needs to be done - but drinking a little cranberry juice might not be a bad idea. More information and some of the latest research can be seen by going to www.BackCareTreatment.com.
