Antiviral effects of Pediococcus acidilactici isolated from Tibetan mushroom and comparative genomic analysis

mycolabadmin

Researchers found that bacteria from Tibetan mushrooms, particularly Pediococcus acidilactici, can effectively prevent rotavirus infection that causes diarrhea in children and animals. When tested in laboratory cells and in mice, this beneficial bacteria reduced virus levels significantly and protected the intestines from damage. Genetic analysis shows this probiotic strain has the right combination of genes to fight viral infections, making it a promising natural treatment option.
