Jab has potential to be ‘world first’ in treating deadly bacteria

Prebiotics are substances that help beneficial bacteria colonise the gut. These indigestible dietary fibres can be found in a variety of plant-based foods, including onions, leeks, artichokes, wheat, bananas, and in high concentrations in chicory root. Read further on Dynamite News:
