Magnesium oxide shows promise against EHEC
We investigated how a macroporous magnesium oxide-templated carbon (MgOC) could help combat Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), a common foodborne threat. MgOC effectively adsorbed harmful Shiga toxins and secretory proteins that contribute to EHEC's virulence while not affecting the bacteria's growth itself. Notably, infected mice treated with MgOC showed an extended survival period. This innovative material didn't harm healthy cells or gut bacteria. However, it also absorbed several antimicrobial agents, suggesting it could be combined with specific antibiotics to improve treatment options against EHEC infections.
