The findings of newly published research from animal health and nutrition company, Alltech, suggest a mannan rich fraction (MRF) from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can influence the metabolism of bacteria such as E. coli, and, in doing so, increase their sensitivity to antibiotics.
Highly virulent diseases such as these are rising in prevalence, especially in regions where previously these diseases were rare. Global warming is undoubtedly playing a part; shifting migratory bird patterns and milder winters are allowing pathogens and their host species to survive where previously they might not have.
