VINEGAR CAN HELP FIGHT DRUG-RESISTANT
TB:
Acetic acid, an active ingredient in
vinegar, can be used as an inexpensive and non-toxic disinfectant against drug-resistant
tuberculosis (TB) bacteria, scientists say. Acetic acid can effectively kill mycobacteria,
even highly drug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis, according to an
international team of researchers from Venezuela, France and US. Work with
drug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria carries serious biohazard risks.
