]It was detected that a bacteria passing through the person killed corals. [[T][4]
[The results found scientists in research published in the Plos One magazine, the first time found the bacteria that can find a non- vertebrated animal from the human.
scholars in Rollins College in Florida, respiratory and urinary tract in human, even caused by the inflammation of the brain membrane, also known as hospital bacteria, which can be especially in newborn departments, found that Serratia marcescensin reaches seas through sewage and killed corals.
Scientists who have received healthy coral samples from Sambo reef in the east of the key West coral islands, were injected into the Serratia marcescens bacteria, as well as escherichia-coli bacteria.
Serratia marcescens bacteria was sick in four days of the corals given to the bacterium, the fifth day it died. The sixth day was observed that only white from the coral, the geri remains back. [
Kathryn Sutherland, located in the research, said, "We proved that the source of this horrible disease caused by the death of myths." [
Sutherland noted that the good side of this result can be relatively blocked with the treatment plants that are more effective to spread the bacteria.
Scientists noted that a bacteria from the human can find corals in more than one point of interest.
Scientists who express that the infection of agents that cause disease from animal people is scientifically corrected, but stressed that a bacteria caused by the disease is previously known, since it passed through a backboneless sea creatures from the human.
Scientists have taken into account that the bacteria has a warm blood mammals, which does not have the same body heat and completely adapts to a animal with different metabolism.
The scientists reported that the seawater also creates obstacles, the salt rate of blood and other body liquids is much higher than the seawater killed bacteria in normal conditions. [
Scientists, but Serratia marcescensin noted that it is extremely resistant to sea water and die.
