Research by scientists from the Max F. Perutz Laboratories
points to new treatment options
Scientists from the Max F. Perutz Laboratories (MFPL) of the
University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna have provided
insights into how much harm bacteria can cause to the lung of people having the
flu. An infection with both the flu and bacteria can be a fatal combination.
The results could prompt the development of alternative treatments for
flu-related bacterial infections, to improve patient outcome and prevent
permanent lung damage. The study is published in the renown journal “Science”.
