Scientists from the University of Eastern Finland came to the conclusion that the antibiotics can harm a human is much more serious than so far imagined. The researchers found that the popular antibiotic ciprofloxacin genome damage important cellular structures – mitochondria.
Finnish experts said that the antibiotic ciprofloxacin is from the fluoroquinolone group destroys the mitochondrial DNA, representing cellular organelles responsible for providing energy to the cells.
“After intake of ciprofloxacin is impaired mitochondrial energy production and blocking the growth and differentiation of cells,” the scientists said.
According to them, this side effect of drugs – the fluoroquinolones can find expression in the development of tendinitis (inflammation of the tissues of sulili) until the tendon ruptures and the emergence of sensorimotor polyneuropathy is a severe neurological disorder that is characterized by multiple lesions of the peripheral nerves and a number of dysfunctional, unhealthy symptoms.
Fluoroquinolones, which scientists suspected the ability to destroy the mitochondria, are among the most commonly used antibacterial drugs broad spectrum – they are often prescribed for the therapy of respiratory, urinary or ear infections. Safer analogues of these drugs do not exist. Given this, the study authors stressed that “information on damage to the mitochondria is a signal to not use antibiotics unless absolutely necessary”.
