Rhode Island Hospital study identifies high-risk patient populations for MRSA carriage
A Rhode Island Hospital study presented today at the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) annual meeting found that patients in long-term elder care and HIV-infected outpatients appear to be high-risk groups for carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a... view more (2007-04-17)

Purdue creates new low-cost system to detect bacteria
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new low-cost system that analyzes scattered laser light to quickly identify bacteria for applications in medicine, food processing and homeland security at one-tenth the cost of conventional technologies.   view more (2006-07-28)

Study shows copper could help control MRSA contamination
A new study by scientists at the University of Southampton suggests that MRSA contamination can be reduced by using copper alloys for surfaces in healthcare facilities. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a virulent organism, essentially resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics... view more (2004-07-06)

Small RNA plays parallel roles in bacterial metabolism
They are often overlooked, and were once thought to be too small to contribute much to major cellular processes, but in recent years the study of small ribonucleic acids (sRNA) has gained momentum.   view more (2007-11-30)

The next time you have difficulty fighting a bacterial infection, your next trip to the doctor might be to the family veterinarian.   view more (2007-08-01)

Dermatologists identify North Texas leishmaniasis outbreak
A team of dermatologists and dermatopathologists at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified nine North Texas cases of an infectious skin disease common in South America, Mexico and in the Middle East, where it is sometimes referred to as a "Baghdad boil."   view more (2007-09-14)

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)

Team IDs weakness in anthrax bacteria
MIT and New York University researchers have identified a weakness in the defenses of the anthrax bacterium that could be exploited to produce new antibiotics.   view more (2008-01-25)

Scientists sequence Nature's antibiotic factory
The genome sequence of Streptomyces coelicolor, one of the family of common soil bacteria that produce more than two thirds of the world's antibiotic medicines, will be published in the journal Nature this week. Streptomyces are almost ubiquitous in the soils and are responsible for its familiar... view more (2002-05-06)

MRSA in hospital intensive care -- what's growing where?
Researchers are finding out which bugs grow in intensive care units to develop a novel sampling regime that would indicate the threat of MRSA and other superbugs in the environment, scientists heard today (Monday 31 March 2008) at the Society for General Microbiology's 162nd meeting being held this... view more (2008-03-31)

Milk may help bacteria survive against low levels of antibiotics
Milk may help prevent potentially dangerous bacteria like Staphylococcus from being killed by antibiotics used to treat animals, scientists heard today (Monday 8 September 2008) at the Society for General Microbiology's Autumn meeting being held this week at Trinity College, Dublin.   view more (2008-09-08)

3-D forms link antibiotic resistance and brain disease
The story of what makes certain types of bacteria resistant to a specific antibiotic has a sub-plot that gives insight into the cause of a rare form of brain degeneration among children, according to investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.   view more (2006-08-21)

Finding that could shed light on 'golden staph,' candida and allergies
Recent scientific findings explain why patients with a rare immunodeficiency disorder are unusually susceptible to certain common infections. By revealing the exact molecular mechanisms involved, they also give us clues as to why some 'healthy' people are more prone to these infections than others,... view more (2008-07-01)
