American experts use of genetically modified bacteria to Fight HIV

A new dawn of the fight against AIDS, the United States scientists have successfully stored in the body genetically modified bacteria to produce chemical substances to prevent HIV transmission. The National Cancer Institute conducted the study still at the preliminary stage, but researcher at the hope of eventually find effective and cheaper cost of a new method to defeat AIDS.

Until December 2004, the world's 39.4 million people suffering from AIDS or infected with a virus. Most of the infections are in the Department of intestinal and genital area exposed to the virus, "stroke", the surface of these parts are usually covered with a layer of bacteria.

Fellow GM one species of bacteria, such as colon bacteria GM, can secrete proteins to prevent HIV infection of their target cells. When researchers will genetically modified bacteria into the mice, bacteria in the intestine at the end of successful breeding in the vagina also find a relatively small number of bacteria.

Researcher found that there are methods to prevent the spread of AIDS forcing an urgent need to, particularly developing countries, AIDS grim. Scientists are studying coating the genitals of a microbicide gel or emulsion to prevent AIDS transmission. But researcher said these microbicides to sex before conducting smear, limiting its use.
