Ngaba ungazibamba iiMicrobes zabanye abantu zangasese ezivela kwiiNdawo eziphantsi komhlaba?

Zininzi izizathu zokuba uhlale kude nenenekazi ngendlela-emfutshane kakhulu yeebhulukhwe zomthambo kwindlela engaphantsi. Akuncinci kwezi ziintsholongwane aqinisekileyo ukuba uza kuzityabeka kuso sonke isihlalo. Ngaba ezo ntsholongwane zibilayo zinokukwenzakalisa ngokwenene? Kwaye kuthekani ngezinye iindawo zikawonke-wonke ezinje ngeentsimbi zokubambisa kunye noomatshini bamatikiti? Ngaba ezo zibi ngokupheleleyo, nazo? Ngombulelo, izazinzulu zazinomdla ngokwaneleyo wokufumana wonke umntu (kuba sonke siphume ngokwaneleyo ngoku).

Abaphandi abavela kwiHarvard T.H. Isikolo saseChan seMpilo yoLuntu sivavanye iimoto ukusuka kwimigca emithathu yendlela engaphantsi eBoston ukufumanisa ukuba zeziphi iintlobo zentsholongwane abakhweli bendlela yangaphantsi abadlulayo ukuya kwenye. Akumangalisi ukuba bafumanise izihlalo, udonga, kunye neepali zeemoto kunye nezikrini kunye nodonga kufutshane noomatshini betikiti-yep, phantse yonke indawo-yayigutyungelwe ziintsholongwane. Inxalenye eyothusayo yayikukuba uninzi lweebhugi ezazidluliswa zazingekho "zimbi"-ithetha ukuba azizange zithathwe njengezixhathisayo kwi-antibiotics kwaye azizange zithwale ezinye iziphumo ezinokuthi zibe yingozi. Ngapha koko, abaphandi bathi iindawo zikaloliwe ezingaphantsi komhlaba abazikhuphileyo bezisezantsi kwezi microorganisms zikhathazayo kunento ekhoyo emathunjini akho. (Wowu, kunye ne-ew!) Kwaye, sele ugqunywe ziintsholongwane-iimephu zeBacteria ze3D zibonakalise.

"Abantu abasempilweni akufuneki bakhathazeke," utshilo uTiffany Hsu, umbhali wokufunda kunye nomncedisi wophando kwisebe lesikolo le-biostatistics. "Uninzi lweebugs ezikhoyo ziyafumaneka kulusu oluqhelekileyo lomntu okanye kwiisayithi zomlomo, ngenxa yoko uninzi lwabantu luya kubaphatha nazo." Okwangoku, ukuhlamba izandla emva kokukhwela kwindlela engaphantsi akuyi kuba buhlungu, uyongeza. (Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kukho i-parasite egqithisileyo efunyenwe ilele kumachibi okudada.)

Hsu kunye noogxa bakhe Iziphumo, ezipapashwa kule veki kwiAmerican Society for Microbiology's journal mSystems, Nika isiseko seentsholongwane phaya ukuze abaphandi bakwazi ukulinganisa iingxaki zempilo yoluntu ezizayo, njengokuqhambuka komkhuhlane.

Abaphandi baye bafumana iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeebhugi kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo. Ulusu kunye neentsholongwane zomlomo ezisasazeka ngokuthimla okanye ukuchukumisa zafunyanwa kumanani aphezulu kwiipali zikaloliwe ongaphantsi, kunye neentsholongwane zangasese zazikho ezihlalweni. Ibinzana elithi "iintsholongwane zangasese" lisenokukwenza ungcangcazele, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba ubufazi bomkhweli buze ngoqhakamshelwano kulusu nesihlalo. Ezo ntlobo zebugs zinokugqithiswa ngempahla. Kwaye kungathatha into eninzi ukuba bakosulele, utshilo uHsu. Iintsholongwane kuya kufuneka zihlale ziphila, zicholwe sisinxibo sakho kwindawo enokuphila kuyo (ngokuthelekisa, yithi, ingalo yakho), emva koko zikhuphisane nezinye iibugs ukuze zifumane indawo kuluntu lwemicrobe. (Ewe, uxolo ukuxela ukuba unesiqulatho se-bugs kuwe ngalo lonke ixesha.) Kukho iindawo ezithile ezishushu nangona zinentsholongwane kunye neebhaktheriya kunokuba ufuna ukwazi malunga noku-funda ngezi zinto zili-10 ubungekhe uzenze ' Ndifuna ukwabelana.)

Okukwintsusa: Nangona indlela engaphantsi kwendlela igutyungelwe ziintsholongwane, akunakulindeleka ukuba uthathe ezinye iintsholongwane zabasetyhini. “Okwangoku, kubonakala ngathi abanako ukutshintshwa,” utshilo uHsu. "Ulusu lwethu kunye namajoni omzimba anika ukhuselo olukhulu!" Kuhle ukwazi, kodwa akukho mntu unokukubeka ityala ngokuthatha isigqibo sokuma kude kube kwindawo elandelayo.
