Oh, have you ever wondered why a wound refuses to heal even after you take amoxicillin? Well, the problem is not just the medicine not working, but the conspiracy of a rogue bacteria called E. faecalis. These guys don't just stop taking medicine, but they also secrete a certain toxin that paralyzes your skin cells. In other words, they prevent the cells that are supposed to heal the wound from contracting and failing to heal themselves.
The good news is that advanced experts have discovered a way to block the toxin. Instead of worrying about killing all the bacteria, they simply turn off their ability to produce waste. This offers great hope, especially for diabetics whose foot ulcers have been bothering them so much that they want their feet amputated. Now we're waiting for clever bandages that will do the job in hospitals!
