Rhode Island Hospital study finds local retail meat safe from antibiotic-resistant organisms
Rhode Island Hospital researchers report that findings from a new study of retail meat in the Providence, RI area indicate little to no presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. view more (2008-10-29)
Study finds MRSA most common cause of skin infections in patients presenting in nation's ER's
Think that's a spider bite on your arm? Think again. It could be methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, a type of staph infection increasingly seen in communities across the nation that is resistant to antibiotics most commonly used to treat skin infections. view more (2006-08-17)
MRSA toxin acquitted: Study clears suspected key to severe bacterial illness
Researchers who thought they had identified the bacterial perpetrator of the often severe disease caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) had better keep looking: Scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, have exonerated a... view more...

Resistant bacteria increasing source of muscle infection
An antibiotic-resistant bacteria called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasingly a cause of muscle infections in children, said Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) researchers in a report in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. view more (2006-09-26)
Study shows rise in antibiotic resistant pediatric head and neck infections
A report by researchers in the Jan. 19, 2009 Archives of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery shows that there was nationwide increase in the prevalence of pediatric methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) head and neck infections from January 2001 to December 2006. view more (2009-01-20)
Transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria linked to previous intensive care unit room occupants
Staying in a room in the intensive care unit (ICU) previously occupied by a patient with treatment-resistant bacteria may increase the odds of acquiring such bacteria. view more (2006-10-10)
Could plain soap and probiotics beat hospital bugs?
Doctors might be better off washing their hands with yoghurt instead of relying on antiseptic soap-scrubbing, according to a new discussion paper by a UCL (University College London) researcher. view more (2005-11-01)
Factor key to severity of community-associated methicillin-resistant staph infections identified
Newly described proteins in drug-resistant strains of the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium attract and then destroy protective human white blood cells-a key process ensuring that S. aureus survives and causes severe disease. view more (2007-11-12)
University of Manchester launches new anti-MRSA product
Scientists at The University of Manchester, along with healthcare product manufacturer Brimaid, have unveiled a new product which aims to aid hospitals in the fight against MRSA. The BioKab is a bedside cabinet which has been specifically designed to reduce the spread and infection of harmful bacteria in hospital wards. view more (2005-05-10)
Government is treating the symptoms and not fighting the causes of infectious diseases, say scientists
The Microbiology Awareness Campaign gathered momentum yesterday at the House of Lords when scientists informed Peers and MPs that new and re-emerging infectious diseases could spell trouble if not tackled soon. The experts said that without targeted government funding for microbiological research, serious health and economic problems may lie ahead... view more... (2005-03-02)
Researchers analyze how new anti-MRSA abtibiotics function
A new paper by Shahriar Mobashery, Navari Family Professor in Life Sciences at the University of Notre Dame, and researchers in his lab provides important insights into promising new antibiotics aimed at combating MRSA. view more (2008-07-29)
New approach could lower antibiotic requirements by 50 times
Steven Hagens, previously at the University of Vienna, told Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI, that certain bacteriophages, a type of virus that infects bacteria, can boost the effectiveness of antibiotics gentamicin, gramacidin or tetracycline. view more (2007-01-30)
Scientists uncover how superbug Staph aureus resists our natural defenses
Researchers at the University of Washington have uncovered how the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including the notorious MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staph aureus) "superbug" strains, resists our body's natural defenses against infection. view more (2008-03-25)
Endocarditis infection commonly related to health care factors, increasingly due to staph
An international study reveals that infective endocarditis, infection and inflammation involving the heart valves is commonly associated with health care factors and is increasingly due to staphylococcal infection, according to a study in the June 22/29 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-06-21)
Studies highlight MRSA evolution and resilience
Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections are caused primarily by a single strain-USA300-of an evolving bacterium that has spread with "extraordinary transmissibility" throughout the United States during the past five years, according to a new study led by National Institutes of Health (NIH)... view more...

Best treatment identified to reduce deadly Staph infections
One type of over-the-counter product for topical wound care is more effective than others in killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, or MRSA, which is potentially deadly and in recent years has moved from its historic hospital setting to a much broader public concern. view more (2007-12-04)
EARLY CASE OF RESISTANCE TO NEW ANTIBIOTIC (p 207)
A fast-track research letter published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET describes the case of a patient whose infecting bacterium developed resistance to one of the new so-called bug-busting antibiotics. Multidrug resistant bacteria have caused enormous difficulties worldwide over the past few decades. Scientists had hoped, however, that... view more... (2001-07-18)
CDC analysis finds unique social and behavior intervention helps reduce MRSA rates up to 62 percent
he Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Plexus Institute (Plexus) today announce results from an analysis of a multifaceted methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) prevention program that employed positive deviance (PD), a novel approach to social and behavioral change, to trigger significant reductions in MRSA incidence... view more...

Queen's scientists find new way to battle MRSA
Experts from Queen's University Belfast have developed new agents to fight MRSA and other hospital-acquired infections that are resistant to antibiotics. The fluids are a class of ionic liquids that not only kill colonies of these dangerous microbes, they also prevent their growth. view more (2009-03-25)
Discovery of a 'molecular switch' could lead to new ways of treating infection, including MRSA
The discovery of a 'molecular switch' could lead to new ways of treating infections such as MRSA, and inflammatory diseases like arthritis. view more (2005-04-26)
