Lapho ngilunguza ngefasitela lehhovisi lami, ngabona indawo enhle netshani elincane elimbozwe izimbali eziphuzi ngokugqamile, futhi ngacabanga, “Kungani abantu bengawathandi amadandelion?” Njengoba beza nezindlela ezintsha ezinobuthi zokuqeda lolu “khula”, ngincoma izimfanelo zabo zezokwelapha ezisekelwe emazingeni aphezulu amavithamini, amaminerali nezinye izakhi.
Muva nje, ososayensi banezele ikhono lokulwa nama-superbugs ohlwini oluhlaba umxhwele lwezinzuzo zezempilo ze-dandelion. Ososayensi abavela eNyuvesi yase-Huaihai, e-Lianyungang, e-China bathole ukuthi i-dandelion polysaccharides iyasebenza ngokumelene ne-Escherichia coli (E. coli), i-Bacillus subtilis, ne-Staphylococcus aureus.
Abantu bangatheleleka nge-E. coli ngokuthinta indle yezilwane noma yomuntu. Nakuba kuzwakala kungenakwenzeka, imvamisa ukudla noma amanzi angcoliswa yile bacterium ingase ikuxwayise. Inyama iyimbangela enkulu e-United States. I-E. coli ingangena enyameni ngesikhathi ihlatshwa futhi ihlale isebenza uma izinga lokushisa langaphakathi lenyama ngesikhathi sokupheka lingafiki ku-71 degrees Celsius.
Okunye ukudla okuhlangana nenyama engcolile nakho kungangenwa igciwane. Ubisi oluluhlaza kanye nemikhiqizo yobisi nakho kungaba ne-E. coli ngokuthinta umbele, ngisho nemifino nezithelo ezihlangana nendle yezilwane zingangenwa igciwane.
Leli gciwane litholakala kuma-swimming pool, emachibini nakwezinye izindawo ezinamanzi nakubantu abangazigezi izandla uma bephuma endlini yangasese.
I-E. coli ibilokhu inathi, kodwa manje ososayensi bathi cishe u-30% wezifo zomgudu womchamo obangelwa yikho azelapheki. Ngenkathi ngenza ucwaningo lwencwadi yami ezayo ethi, The Probiotic Miracle, ngathola ukuthi amaphesenti amahlanu kuphela ayengazweli eminyakeni eyishumi edlule. Ososayensi bathole ukuthi i-E. coli ithuthukise ikhono lokukhiqiza into ebizwa ngokuthi i-beta-lactamase, eyenza ama-antibiotic angasebenzi. Indlela eyaziwa ngokuthi “extended-spectrum beta-lactamase” iyabonakala nakwamanye amagciwane, le ndlela yehlisa ukusebenza kwama-antibiotics.
I-Bacillus subtilis (hay bacillus) ihlala ikhona emoyeni, emanzini nasenhlabathini. I-bacterium ayivamisile ukuthi ihlanganise umzimba womuntu, kodwa ingabangela ukungezwani komzimba uma umzimba ubhekene nenani elikhulu lamagciwane. Ikhiqiza i-toxin subtilisin, esetshenziswa ezindaweni zokuhlanza izingubo. Ukwakheka kwayo kufana kakhulu ne-E. coli, ngakho-ke ivame ukusetshenziswa ocwaningweni lwaselabhorethri.
I-Staphylococcus aureus (i-Staphylococcus aureus) ayinabungozi kangako. Uma ufunda izindaba mayelana nama-superbugs amelana namagciwane esibhedlela, kungenzeka ukuthi ufunda nge-MSRA, i-Staphylococcus aureus engamelana ne-methicillin. Ngokwe-Health Agency of Canada, leli gciwane liyimbangela ehamba phambili yobuthi bokudla. Ukutheleleka kungatholakala futhi ngokulunywa kwezilwane kanye nokuthintana nomunye umuntu, ikakhulukazi uma enezilonda ze-staph. Ukudlondlobala kwe-MSRA kuyanda ezindaweni eziminyene njengezibhedlela namakhaya asebekhulile, futhi izimpawu zingasukela ekubeni nesicanucanu sesikhashana nokuhlanza kuye kokwethuka okunobuthi nokufa.
Ososayensi baseShayina baphethe ngokuthi i-dandelion, lolu khula oludelelekile, luqukethe into engase isetshenziswe kahle njengesivikelo sokudla, enciphisa amathuba okutheleleka ngala magciwane. Ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka ukuze kutholwe ukusetshenziswa okwengeziwe kwemithi elwa namagciwane kule mbali encane enamandla.
