This is the first demonstration that virulence of human pathogenic bacteria can be mitigated by molecules secreted in probiotic milk products, such as yogurt or kefir, said BGU Prof. Jelinek. Our research illuminates the mechanism by which milk fermented probiotics can protect against pathogenic infections and aid the immune system. We look forward to administering these drug candidates to patients who are experiencing a cytokine storm due to COVID-19 infection, or people suffering from acute inflammatory bowel pathologies, such as Crohn s disease. ....

Photo by Michael Giladi/Flash 90 Researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev recently developed a rapid and cost-effective test to identify Covid-19’s British and South African variants within hours instead of days, enabling effective response and containment measures. Standard coronavirus variants testing involves sequencing the entire virus genome, a process that is expensive and time-consuming. The new test is based on the gene deletion that differentiates the South African or British strains of the virus from the original SARS-CoV-2. ....
