Collaborators

This workshop aims to convey to society that not all microorganisms are bad and that many of them have beneficial effects. Researchers will tell participants that when you get infected with a bad bacterium (one that produces toxin and is resistant to antibiotics), it can be cured with the microbiota of a healthy person. Infection occurs when you have taken too many antibiotics and your beneficial bacteria are wiped out. So to get them back, you have to add new beneficial bacteria that compete for food (nutrients) and take the place of the bad bacteria. The participating researchers are Mario Herbert Romero Rivera, José Avendaño Ortiz, Raquel Barbero Herranz, Luna Ballestero García, Natalia Bastón Paz, María Concepción Rodríguez and Esther Palacios Gómez, from the Instituto Ramón y Cajal de Investigación Sanitaria (IRYCIS).
