Alcaligenes faecalis corrects aberrant matrix metalloproteinase expression to promote reepithelialization of diabetic wounds. Science Advances, 2024; 10 (26) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adj2020 ...

Researchers found that Alcaligenes faecalis – named as such because it was originally discovered in faeces – promotes the healing of chronic wounds.

From there, the researchers saw mice diabetic wounds treated with A. faecalis turned up genes linked to the activation of leukocytes including T cells which are vital in the immune system's ...

Alcaligenes faecalis (A faecalis) has shown a decreasing susceptibility to commonly used antibiotics with an emergence of extensively drug-resistant A faecalis infections, according to study ...

But not all bacteria is bad. In fact, one good bacteria is known as Alcaligenes faecalis, and it is named that because it was originally found in feces. Now, I know what you're thinking.

There are many important reasons for keeping cuts and sores clean, but new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania shows that a certain bug, Alcaligenes ...

To understand how A. faecalis influenced diabetic healing, the researchers did several types of tests with diabetic mice, their skin cells, and human diabetic skin samples. First, they found that ...
