Tuberculosis is not a disease to ignore get proper medical advice to get rid of the problem.

An international team of researchers has found that an active ingredient in vinegar can effectively killmycobacteria, even the highly drug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis. Acetic acid in vinegar might be used

as an inexpensive and non-toxic disinfectant against drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) bacteria as well as other

stubborn, disinfectant-resistant mycobacteria, they found. For now, this is simply an interesting observation.

Vinegar has been used for thousands of years as a common disinfectant and we merely extended studies from

the early 20th century on acetic acid, explained Howard Takiff, head of the laboratory of molecular genetics

at the Venezuelan Institute of Scientific Investigation (IVIC) in Caracas, Venezuela. (Read:How you can prevent

tuberculosis)

Mycobacteria are known to cause tuberculosis and leprosy, but non-TB mycobacteria are common in the

environment, even in tap water, and are resistant to commonly used disinfectants. While investigating the

ability of non-TB mycobacteria to resist disinfectants and antibiotics, Takiffs postdoctoral fellow Claudia

Cortesia stumbled upon vinegars ability to kill mycobacteria.(Read:Scientists will soon find a new vaccine to

cure tuberculosis)

Testing a drug that needed to be dissolved in acetic acid, Cortesia found that the control with acetic acid

alone, killed the mycobacteria she wanted to study. After Claudias initial observation, we tested for the

minimal concentrations and exposure times that would kill different mycobacteria, noted Takiff. There is a

real need for less toxic and less expensive disinfectants that can eliminate TB and non-TB mycobacteria,

especially in resource-poor countries, Takiff observed. Whether it could be useful in the clinic or labs for

sterilising medical equipment or disinfecting cultures or clinical specimens remains to be determined, said the

study published in mBio, the online journal of theAmerican Society for Microbiology. (Read:Ten facts you

What is TB?

TB or Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB most

often affects the lungs, but contrary to popular belief, it can affect almost all other organs such as the uterus,

fallopian tubes, intestine, kidney, bones, meninges (lining around the brain and spinal cord). It is no wonder

that during the early days of this disease it was commonly called consumption, because the bacterium would

infiltrate almost all parts of the human body. (Read:Tuberculosiscauses, symptoms and diagnosis)
