Garlic Compound Effective Against Killer MRSA 'Superbugs' - New Evidence
A compound extracted from garlic is effective against even the most antibiotic-resistant strains of MRSA, the killer 'hospital superbug', and can cure patients with MRSA-infected wounds within weeks, according to new research by microbiologist Dr Ron Cutler of the University of East London (UEL).... view more (2003-12-22)

Scripps research team blocks bacterial communication system to prevent deadly staph infections
In hopes of combating the growing scourge of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, in particular drug-resistant staph bacteria, a team of scientists from the Scripps Research Institute has designed a new type of vaccine that could one day be used in humans to block the onset of infection.   view more (2007-10-31)

BACTERIA DEVELOP RESISTANCE TO NEW ANTIBIOTIC (p1179)
Multi-drug resistant bacteria have caused enormous difficulties worldwide over the past few decades.

University of Idaho researchers are crossing academic and geographical bounds to develop more effective defenses against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and other deadly pathogens.    view more (2007-11-09)

UK's MRSA problem is in the genes - Microbiology Today: February 2005 issue
Britain's MRSA epidemic may be due to the emergence of highly transmissible clones of the superbug, according to an article in the February 2005 issue of Microbiology Today, the quarterly magazine of the Society for General Microbiology.   view more (2005-02-09)

Bacterial spread all down to chance: some strains 'just the lucky ones'
Scientists have discovered that factors such as human immunity and drug resistance are less important to the success of bacterial spread than previously thought.   view more (2005-02-03)

'Superbug' breast infections controllable in nursing mothers, researchers find
Many nursing mothers who have been hospitalized for breast abscesses are afflicted with the "superbug" methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, but according to new research by UT Southwestern Medical Center physicians, conservative treatment can deal with the problem.   view more (2008-09-04)

'Good' bacteria could save patients from infection infection by deadlier ones
Can it be that the stress on the use of antiseptics and antibiotics in hospitals is actually putting patients at a greater risk of suffering fatal bacterial infection?   view more (2005-11-03)

How to beat superbugs
HOSPITALS in Britain will next week begin testing a drug against superbugs that mimics the antibodies produced by our immune systems.          With superbugs fast developing resistance to every antibiotic we can throw at them, alternative treatments are... view more (2002-05-23)

Sussex scientist makes MRSA treatment breakthrough with synthetic antibiotic
A groundbreaking new treatment to combat the hospital killer bug MRSA, which is estimated to cause up to 5,000 deaths a year in Britain, is being developed by a University of Sussex scientist.   view more (2005-02-22)

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)

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)

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)

Pets could be source of multiresistant bacteria infections in humans, MU researchers investigate
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)

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)

UV lotion lights the way to cleaner facilities
A team of Canadian scientists using a lotion which glows under ultraviolet light have shown that up to a third of patient toilets are not properly cleaned.   view more (2008-05-12)

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)

Fast way of spotting multidrug resistant bacteria could help stop outbreaks in hospitals
A type of bacterium widely found on our skin and in the environment has now become a major threat in hospitals where it can cause serious infections, such as pneumonia in severely ill patients.   view more (2007-11-28)
