Early treatment of stomach infection may prevent cancer
Based on research using a new mouse model of gastritis and stomach cancer, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say that prompt treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections reverses damage to the lining of the stomach that can lead to cancer. view more (2008-05-01)
University of Virginia Study Reveals Promising Method for Reducing MRSA Infections in Hospital Intensive Care Units
Doctors at the University of Virginia Health System have significantly reduced MRSA infections among surgical intensive care patients by using antibiotic cycling, a method of rotating drugs at regular intervals. view more (2008-09-05)
Early switch from IV to oral meds is effective for children with acute bone infection
When treating hospitalized children with acute osteomyelitis--a bacterial bone infection--an early changeover from intravenous (IV) antibiotic delivery to oral antibiotics is just as effective as continuing the IV therapy, according to pediatric researchers. view more (2009-02-12)

Preventing tuberculosis reactivation
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to infectious disease in the world today. It is estimated that 2 billion people are currently infected, and although most people have latent infection, reactivation can occur. view more (2007-10-18)
New anthrax inhibitor could combat antibiotic-resistant strains
In a new approach to treating anthrax exposure, a team of scientists has created an inhibitor designed to tackle the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant strains. view more (2006-08-29)
Community MRSA is re-emergence of 1950s pandemic, study suggests
An early type of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that caused a global epidemic of infections in the 1950s has re-emerged as one of the community-acquired MRSA 'superbugs', according to a study published in this weeks issue of The Lancet. view more (2005-03-31)
Community-acquired staph pneumonia appears more common, including MRSA
Preliminary research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that community acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium may be more common than originally suspected, including that caused by antibiotic resistant strains. view more (2008-03-20)
Study shows antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for increase in muscle infections
