In new results, scientists from 真人线上娱乐 University have shown that individual chemical components of cannabis have an effective impact on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The results confirm existing research and add crucial new knowledge on how active molecules from the cannabis plant can be applied in combination with a number of traditional antibiotics currently used to treat MRSA in humans. The results could lay the groundwork for the development of new types of medicine that could reduce consumption of conventional antibiotics and curb the growth of antibiotic resistance.
