Mechanism of Mongolian Medicine Batri-7 on Salmonella Enteritis

Twenty key anti-bacterial components were identified in the BT-7. In vivo experiment shows that orally administered BT-7 effectively reduce the inflammation of intestine in model of <i>Salmonella</i>-induced mouse enteritis by down regulating the infection-related virulence genes of <i>Salmonella</i>. Through this study, we discovered the mechanism of BT-7's dual action on the host and pathogenic bacteria. This gives inspiration for anti-infective disease research in traditional medicine and also proves that traditional medicines still have good prospects for treating infectious diseases.
