NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A common ingredient in toothpaste and hand washing may contribute to body resistance to antibiotics, a new Australian study suggests.
The study revealed that a compound known as triclosan, which is used in more than 2,000 personal care products on a daily basis, may increase the spread of antibiotic resistance.
"These chemicals are used in greater quantities in everyday life, and eventually end up with high levels of antimicrobial resistance," said Dr. Jian Hua Jo, of the University of Queensland, Australia.
In the study, published in the journal Environment International, the team investigated whether exposure to non-microbial and antimicrobial chemicals, such as triclosan, had an effect on an antibiotic resistance on E. coli bacteria, Live in the intestines.
The results showed that at a concentration of 0.2 mg / l (mg / l), Triclosan stimulates multidrug resistance to the treatment of large intestinal intestinal bacteria 30 days after exposure to the chemical.
This finding provides strong evidence that triclosan, which is found in personal care products used daily, accelerates the spread of antibiotic resistance, the researchers said.If you use antibiotics, use toothpaste. Know why
