ESBL and Waterfall D Mannose

Most people are already familiar with the superbug MRSA, and C. Difficile, but not yet have heard of ESBL. ESBL-producing bacteria have joined the growing number of antibiotic resistant pathogens that cause hospital-acquired and now community infections.

Washing hands is the most effective way of preventing the spread of ESBL Extended-Spectrum Beta Lactamase immune factor producing bacteria.

ESBL stands for “extended-spectrum beta lactamase.” ESBL bacteria are different from other superbugs, because ESBL does not refer to one specific kind of bacteria. (For instance, MRSA refers specifically to methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus Aureus.)

Instead, EBSL refers to an antibiotic-resistance enabling enzyme that the bacteria are producing, as a means of protecting themselves against attack.

It would seem that bacteria have responded to the worldwide overuse of antibiotics in farming and medicine by creating beta lactamase, an enzyme that can give the bacteria immunity to each new antibiotic they encounter.

ESBL enables resistance not only to penicillins, but to cephalosporin antibiotics also (antibiotics whose names begin with “Cef-”).

Many different species of bacteria can produce the ESBL enzymes although the most common ESBL producing bacteria are E. coli and Klebsiella.  Both are common culprits in urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Other bacteria that are thought to produce the ESBL enzyme are: K. pneumoniae, Salmonella, Proteus mirabilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Preventing the spread of nosocomial (hospital acquired) and now community infections like the ESBL producers is the best defence against them. Without a route of transmission, the bacteria cannot travel to new hosts and make more people sick. Washing hands frequently and effectively is an obvious way of preventing transmission, as is sterilising equipment and keeping handles and surfaces clean.

Remind nurses, care providers, doctors, hospital employees, work colleagues and family and friends to wash their hands frequently. Wash your own hands before eating or touching your face (and, of course, after using the toilet). Should you be unlucky enough to develop an ESBL producing bacterial infection, there are options.

User feedback over 7 years+ indicates that Waterfall D-Mannose®, unlike most herbal remedies or antibiotics, will reliably stop and prevent most urinary tract infections and infection or non-specific urethral and bladder inflammation. It has been shown that this simple sugar also protects catheterised/catheterized and self-catheterising/catheterizing patients from the associated infections that despite prophylactic antibiotics are otherwise unavoidable. For most people, with simple antibiotic-resistant infections or painful bladder symptoms without complications or tumour, Waterfall D Mannose would seem to be a sensible option, and should be considered the first line of defence, especially in the case of antibiotic failure and worsening of the original symptoms since bacteria do not develop resistance to it.

We recently recieved the following email from one of our customers (02/08/2011)

"By the way the ESBL took around 4 and a half months to clear using 3 tablets every 2-3 hours and 1 month of taking them through the night, I am so happy to be free of it as it almost cost me my life when after an ileal conduit loop urinary diversion left me with raging infection in both kidneys, thank you for your amazing product :o) "

Thank you,

anna
