It is not only yesterday that we learned how mixing coffee with protein powder can become Petri’s scarf for harmful bacteria. And today we have a modern study on how coffee affects things such as antibiotics. Answer? Even more bacteria.
As reported Scientific alertThe modern study was published recently in the journal by a team of scientists from the University of Tübingen in Germany. In this way, they studied how 94 various chemicals influenced the bacteria of e. Coli, in particular “the way they changed the control systems that have changed what is added to bacterial and outgoing cells.” One of the substances was caffeine.
Among all the substances tested, it was found that about a third influences what comes in and exits from the bacterial cell. But caffeine stood out as extremely influential. Scientists have noticed that caffeine has led to e. Cola absorbs a lower level of antibiotics, in particular ciprofloxacin, which is used to kill harmful bacteria in the body.
“Caffeine triggers a cascade of events, starting from the Rob gene regulator and will end with a change in several transport proteins, which in turn leads to reduced antibiotics download, such as Ciprofloxacin,” says Brochado Ana Rita, one of the authors of the study.
But before you put down coffee, so far these discoveries were found only in laboratory settings; There are still a place to try people to determine if the impact lasts. There are also no tips on how much coffee had to be consumed to maintain the effectiveness of antibiotics, or how long after taking them you can drink coffee again.
Nevertheless, you should consider when taking antibiotics. You want your anaerobic fermented coffee to have bacteria, not on your stomach.
