Infectious diseases are a medical condition caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi.
Most cases of infectious diseases are contagious by spreading directly or indirectly, from one person to another.
In other words, if you kiss, or are coughed or sneezed on by an infectious person, you are at risk of developing the same infectious disease.
According to the statistic provided by the World Health Organization, 3 infectious diseases were ranked in the top ten causes of death worldwide in 2016.
More precisely, lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, and tuberculosis induced 3.0 million, 1.4 million, and 1.3 million deaths, respectively.
Conventionally, most cases of infectious diseases except those caused by viruses are treated by antibiotics.
A fungus is a primitive organism, including mushrooms, mold, and mildew.found in the air, in the soil, on plants, and in water.
Fungi reproduce through tiny spores in the air if you inhale the spores, it may spread to cause a fungal infection that often starts in the lungs or on the skin.
People with a weakened immune system are more likely to infected by fungi, including the fungus Aspergillus which causes lung infection.
Similar to other bacterias, there are millions of different fungal species on Earth, but only about 300 are known to infect people.
Conventionally, a fungal infection also is treated with antibiotics, including topical antifungal ointments or oral medications, depending on the severity of the disease.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, scientists examined the effects of Chinese pinto bean lectin (CPBL), a 58-kDa dimeric glucosamine-binding protein anti-fungal activity.
Pinto bean is also known as common bean, genus Phaseolus and the family Fabaceae. It has a mottled appearance of darker reddish-brown spots on a lighter brownish beige background, thus appearing painted or spotted.
* Only the mycelial growth of V. mali was reduced by 30.6 % by the lectin at 30 μM.
* The lectin was able to suppress the proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma HONE-1 cells, with an IC50 of 17.3 μM.
* The lectin was able to suppress the proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma HONE-1 cells, with an IC50 of 17.3 μM.
Taken altogether, Pinto beans may process antioxidant and cytotoxic properties against diseases associated with a fungal and viral infection, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
