X-ray research leads to surprise find - zinc affects the stability of cells in superbug and removing it kills them, writes Dr Miriam Stoppard
You might remember zinc best as zinc oxide, the thick white cream slathered on babies with nappy rash and used for burns, cuts and scrapes. It’s a good barrier cream to protect the skin.
But internally, zinc serves useful functions too – one of which is helping the production of healthy sperm. That’s because it promotes cell growth and multiplication, and supports the immune system.
Now, exciting research from Warwick University is pointing the way to its use against superbugs – bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) is one of those and it can cause infections in the blood, urinary tract and lungs, or in wounds in other parts of the body.
It’s a particular problem in hospitals. Some patients can carry AB without any symptoms while in others the bacterium causes serious illness, and can even lead to death.
Unfortunately, many AB infections are resistant to antibiotics, making them difficult to treat.
But the Warwick research has found that zinc plays a key role in how AB cells form their shape and identifies this process as a new target for overcoming resistant infections.
Dr Carmina Micelli, who collaborated with researchers from Northwestern and Tufts Universities in the US, noticed the importance of zinc when she was studying a group of enzymes known as penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which control the shape of AB bacteria cells.
exciting as a whodunnit.
She said: “I was using X-ray crystallography to study PBPs when I noticed a single zinc ion in a particular structural part of PBP2. I knew this hadn’t been discovered before.
“When zinc was removed, the stability of PBP2 was reduced and resulted in

Did those studies adminster HCQ in combination with zinc, as the protocol which was claimed to be effective called for? Because all of the studies of HCQ I saw had no zinc included. Seems to me they tested a claim about a med with a different med (in essence) and said ‘the original med doesn’t work’ which seems an odd way to do it.
Many doctors were not allowed to prescribe ivermectin or other alternative treatments here in the US.
“Take those with zinc tablets.”

Those of us less influenced by all the plandemic gaslighting, already were,
instead of getting experimentally vaxed.
amazin’
Millions of lives could have been saved during Covid by simply prescribing zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, and quercetin. But there was no money to be made by saving lives. It was mass murder by the deep state folks.
I read this through, and zinc needs to be removed from the bacteria to make this work.
This is really an anti-zinc study, and I don't know how to tell people how to only remove zinc from germs, so I can't post this to the ping list.
I see everyone else here somehow thinks zinc is good to have for this germ, but it's not. It helps it to be pathogenic.
Nope. They always set up the tests to fail. No zinc, waited until patients were almost dead, …. It was very disingenuous. That and there were stacked therapies that helped in competing ways hence the various protocols. No one said take just this one item. Well except Phizer and moderna but their treatment caused long term damage but they made billions.
Napalm works better, but cleanup is more difficult.
I don’t see how your point holds. The 2005 trial found CQ as tested to be highly effective against SARS:
“Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1232869/
The March 2020 China study claimed CQ and HCQ to be effective against SARS-2. They believed it to be working in the fashion that they used it, zinc supplement or not.
“Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as available weapons to fight COVID-19”
The problem is that others weren’t getting the same results when they attempted it. In 2020 there were no known remedies and everyone wanted it to work.
The 2005 trial was on Green Monkey tissue in the lab and it’s not unusual to find that doesn’t transfer to in vivo.
China claimed success in their 2020 test but that also appears to be another Green Monkey tissue trial; footnote #3 in Table 1.
One of my friends died of Covid before there were any vaccines. Three of his relatives caught it at the same family Christmas party and they died too. But I didn’t know the three relatives personally. Maybe they should have eaten more oysters in order to live through the plandemic gaslighting or whatever the current name is for death by acute respiratory distress and acute kidney injury.
Alternative treatments weren’t illegal or banned. Docs could prescribe those meds but at the risk of being sued for offering substandard care and losing their licenses. And most aren’t willing to put themselves in that spot.
Baloney. They CDC had material on their website lauding HCQ as extremely safe and beneficial and what side effects there were only were observed over very long durations of administration of the drug, like years of continuous use. Then as word that HCQ was claimed to be effective but there were no studies yet those links got buried and we got a message from all sides that HCQ is a deadly poison that will almost certainly give you a heart attack or make you blind. They had their mind made up with zero evidence.
OK. Interesting.
Zinc and Vitamin D3 will keep colds away and the chinese virus.
Zinc and Vitamin C. This is not a “new” discovery since many have known such for decades. I have been reading many stories lately of “new” medical discoveries of things I have known for years.
In addition, there are articles of cleaning “hacks” that are simple cleaning methods that my mother and grandmother used and passed down to me. In case anyone here is not aware of it, baking powder can clean almost any dirty dish or counter top. For an especially stubborn stain, sprinkle baking soda and then spritz with white vinegar. Who would have thought?
Does no one any longer read any history books or healing tips from the old wise women from decades ago? They knew this type of stuff, including the plants that healing properties were derived from which until recently were the basis of most of our medications. Now, it’s all just chemicals created in a lab.
My Dad and I used Ivermectin early, and oxygen concentrators when our blood/oxy went low. We never took the experimental mRNA Gene therapies. We have not had it a 2nd time. I had an Aunt that had to take the experimental vaccine because of nursing home policy. Hospitalized after the first shot. Hospitalized again, for a week, with two weeks follow up therapy after the first booster, Hospitalized a week after the 2nd booster, dead in the hospital a week later. She never actually got Covid.
I didn’t say Covid doesn’t kill. Even flu kills. For those paying attention, Covid is a bio-weapon we funded and the Chinese released. Whether some mRNA “Vaccine” lots are a bio-weapon, as well, or the whole science was just seriously flawed in concept (Cyto-toxic Spike Proteins?!) and practice (Experimental vaccination during a pandemic, accelerating variants?!), or both, can still be debated.
~Easy
Did you read? The ideas is to remove zinc from the bacteria not add more. Zinc is necessary to the bacterial structure.
Thank you. You actually read and comprehended what it said.
Sorry. I somehow assumed it was Medical Express, which I can’t get into, and assumed from the intro that zinc fought the bacteria. Thanks for clarifying.
