Researchers map how staph infections alter immune system
Infectious disease specialists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have mapped the gene profiles of children with severe Staphylococcus aureus infections, providing crucial insight into how the human immune system is programmed to respond to this pathogen and opening new doors for improved therapeutic interventions. view more (2009-07-14)
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)
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)
Engineered protein effective against Staphylococcus aureus toxin
A research team led by the University of Illinois has developed a treatment for exposure to enterotoxin B, a noxious substance produced by the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. view more (2007-05-22)
New Study Says Two Million Americans Harbor Drug-Resistant Superbug
New research estimates that about 2 million people carry a strain of drug-resistant bacteria in their noses. view more (2005-12-22)
Researchers find 'surprising link' leads toward a new antibiotic
As the best drugs become increasingly resistant to superbugs, McMaster University researchers have discovered a completely different way of looking for a new antibiotic. view more (2009-05-29)
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)
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...

Bacterial toxin closes gate on immune response, Penn researchers discover
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have demonstrated that a bacterial toxin from the common bacterium Staphylococcus aureus shuts down the control mechanism of the tunnel, called an ion channel, in immune cell membranes. view more (2008-02-14)
'Zinc Zipper' Plays Key Role In Hospital-Acquired Infections
Hospital-acquired infections that are resistant to traditional antibiotic treatment have become increasingly common in recent years, confounding health care professionals and killing thousands of Americans. view more (2008-12-05)
NYU scientists discover dangerous new method for bacterial toxin transfer
Scientists have discovered a new way for bacteria to transfer toxic genes to unrelated bacterial species, a finding that raises the unsettling possibility that bacterial swapping of toxins and other disease-aiding factors may be more common than previously imagined. view more (2009-01-07)
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)
Tuberculosis not the only risk from new immunological drugs
A new survey cautions physicians that drugs commonly prescribed for patients suffering from immunological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease may carry risks of serious infections other than the known risk of tuberculosis. view more (2008-05-21)
MRSA in the community: A new threat to children's health?
Although hospital superbugs like MRSA - methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus - are now a widespread and recognised problem, new MRSA strains that have emerged and are spreading amongst the wider public in the USA may pose a bigger threat. view more (2007-11-28)
New step forward in search for solution to infection puzzle
Scientists at the University of York have helped to reveal more about the way bacteria can attach to human tissues. view more (2008-08-07)
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)
Study finds MRSA in Midwestern swine, workers
The first study documenting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in swine and swine workers in the United States has been published by University of Iowa researchers. view more (2009-01-23)
European league-tables for antibiotic resistance revealed
Tests of antibiotic resistance in cattle have revealed stark variation across thirteen European countries. The results, published today in BioMed Central's open-access journal Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, show that major differences were apparent in the occurrence of resistance between countries and between the different antimicrobial agents... view more...

Drugstore in the Dirt
French clay that kills several kinds of disease-causing bacteria is at the forefront of new research into age-old, nearly forgotten, but surprisingly potent cures. view more (2007-10-26)
HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER COULD RESULT IN EMERGENCE OF METICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (p 1674)
A baby who developed meticillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection without exposure to MRSA carriers suggests an alternative model for the acquisition of this virulent staphylococcal infection. In a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET, the authors conclude that a new MRSA genotype was formed in vivo by exchange of the... view more... (2001-05-23)
