Excessive sugar consumption is certainly not good for health because it can lead to various diseases, particularly diabetes, however this sweetener has other benefits as a new study has determined where it was discovered that the combination of antibiotics and sugars increase efficiency  treatments.

Laboratory tests showed that glucose and fructose violate the resistance of the bacteria and become more sensitive to treatment with antibiotics.

Sugar does not affect drugs and improves their performance, said researchers at Boston University, and chronic and recurrent infections often occur when bacteria become metabolically active, so this is why  which are resistant to the effects of antibiotics.

The resistance of bacteria often occurs every few weeks or months, making a recurrence of the disease, which is becoming more serious, bacterial resistance which can potentially spread the infection to the kidneys and other organs.

A test was conducted with the bacterium Escherichia coli ( E. coli ), which is a common cause of urinary tract infection, the researchers were able to eliminate 99.9 percent of persistent bacteria in two hours, with a  combination of antibiotics and sugar, which acts as a stimulant active with bacteria susceptible to attack by antibiotics, unlike the use of antibiotics without sugar, which has no effect at all.

The finding was published in Nature, which reveals that antibiotic treatment with sugar is also effective in eradicating the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, which causes lethal intestinal infection.
