QUOTE: When it comes to the decision to wake up and grow, bacterial spores "listen in" to find out what their neighbors are doing and then they follow the crowd, according to a new report in the October 31st issue of the journal Cell. Although there is still a lot to learn about how this process works, the discovery could lead to a new kind of antimicrobial agent that works not by killing active bacteria, but by keeping dormant bacteria—which typically resist traditional antibiotics—inactive... UNQUOTE.
Is this even necessary? Perhaps in extreme cases where people have abused their bodies, but for most of us, eating the right kind of diet (low in PUFAs, rich in food items that contain natural antioxidants, etc.) is probably more than enough to avoid dangerous bacteria "infections."
