When the bacterium enters the bloodstream.

When the bacterium enters the bloodstream is with a few fragments called platelets that are responsible for the blood clot when we suffer a serious injury. But the bacteria in the blood adhere to these platelets, causing clots inside blood vessels crashing part. This prevents the blood can flow to the heart, which puts people at risk of suffering a heart attack. The only treatment for this type of disorder, say the researchers, is an aggressive antibiotic therapy. But with the growing problem of bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics, this option is becoming less feasible. The scientists simulated in the laboratory the pressure in blood vessels and heart.
