Salmonella
typhimurium is one of the 2.000 species of Salmonella found in the
world. The species S. typhimurium is a close relative of the bacteria
that causes typhoid fever, S. typhosa, but no less dangerous than the
bacteria that cause typhoid. The spread of microbes occurs through human
or animal feces.

These bacteria
can live in oxygen or without oxygen. Flexibility to make the bacteria
easier to breed. "The bacteria S. typhlmurium easily obtained," said Mirza Zaka Pratama. In the intestine, the bacteria are indeed dangerous because it
can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps up. However, in the heart, it can
clean up the blood vessels of fat clots.
The discovery
is expected to assist the efforts of researchers around the world
looking for bidders blocked arteries of heart disease coronary heart
alias. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2007
showed in the United States occurred 616 thousand cases of death from
heart attack.
The disease is considered the number one
killer in the world than cancer or stroke. Most heart disease caused by
narrowing of blood vessels.

Accumulation of fat in the
blood vessel walls making it difficult to flow. If such a severe
constriction, blood clots can be sandwiched between the vessels,
stopping blood flow. The result is fatal, certain parts of the heart do
not get the intake of fresh blood and then be dead. When this happens,
the patient may experience cardiac failure and sudden death.
Some
techniques to overcome the narrowing of heart vessels have been carried
out. One of them by inserting a tube in the blood vessels so that
narrows smoothly again. Another technique is to inject the vaccine
containing the antibodies into the body. Antibodies to make piles of
eroded fat and blood can flow more smoothly. *** [ANTON WILLIAM | KORAN TEMPO 3675]
