国家卫生研究所的研究人员发现,泥炭沼泽中发现的真菌可产生对肺结核细菌有毒的物质。 Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have discovered that fungi found in peat bogs can produce substances toxic to tuberculosis-causing bacteria. 研究查明了五种破坏这些细菌中基本化合物的真菌种,可能导致缩短结核病治疗。 The study identified five fungal species that disrupt essential compounds in these bacteria, potentially leading to shorter TB treatments. 这一发现可以改善目前治疗结核病所需的长期抗生素疗法。 This discovery could improve the current long-term antibiotic regimen required for treating tuberculosis.
