methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus

Researchers find two new antibiotics that offer promise in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria.  

A study on microbe versus microbe battles within the human nose yields a new antibiotic.

Coating hospital surfaces, surgical equipment, patient implants, and water-delivery systems with nanoscale patterns and particles could curb the rise of hospital-acquired infections.

This research found that coating hospital surfaces with copper helped battle microbes and the infections they spread.

A comparative genomic study shows that researchers can use genetic signatures to predict the toxicity of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates.

In the face of bacterial threats that can evade modern medicines, researchers are trying every trick in the book to develop new, effective antibiotics.

Just because meat is labeled “antibiotic-free” doesn’t mean it’s antibiotic-resistant superbug-free.
