How this crab could save your life?

Although we can’t see them, microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria surround us. Most of them are beneficial, but there are some that cause diseases.

Bacterial infections are one of the most frequent causes of death worldwide. Bacterial pathogens can reproduce quickly in our bodies and, depending on where they grow, they cause pneumonia (lungs), appendicitis (appendix), cystitis (urinary bladder)… among many others. If these infections are not controlled, bacteria might reach the blood torrent and cause sepsis, which can develop into multiorgan failure and posterior death.
