 Researchers discover new lifesaving antibiotics in potato bacteria

After several years of research, European researchers have succeeded in discovering a new lifesaving antibiotic from the bacteria of most common vegetable potato, named ‘solanimycin’.

According to the research in the medical journal ‘M Bio’, after many years of findings, European experts have discovered a powerful antibiotic present in potato spoilage bacteria that not only kills the disease in vegetables, fruits and plants. It can also be used to treat human skin diseases and scabies in general.

According to the report, experts researched the special ingredients found in tomatoes, Dickeya solani, which is found in more quantities in potatoes than in tomatoes.

The above ingredients were first discovered in tomatoes a decade ago by experts and then experts suspected that the same ingredients would also be present in potatoes and later this prediction was proved to be correct.

Experts researched the above-mentioned ingredients on the bacteria ‘oocydin A’ that infects or damages potatoes, from which they found a lifesaving antibiotic.

These bacteria cause severe damage to potatoes, but the same bacteria also contain powerful compounds that can kill other fruit, vegetable and plant diseases.

Experts have given ‘solanimycin’, an antibiotic discovered from potato disease bacteria, to successfully treat ‘fungus’ that infects plants, fruits and vegetables, as well as humans.

Experts made it clear that more research is needed on the matter, but experts are hopeful that the antibiotic discovered in potato spoilage bacteria will benefit humans as well as plants.
