Once it gets into the body, through wounds or medical tubes, it can cause an infection that could kill someone already weakened by illness. In Britain, it is estimated that MRSA and other ...

MRSA (pronounced MUR-suh), seen here as purple spheres, is the abbreviation for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, an antibiotic-resistant bacterium that can cause a severe infection in ...

The study, conducted by researchers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found that six bacterial ...

MRSA is a super bacteria that can cause serious infections which are resistant to antibiotic treatments. The superbug is particularly prevalent in hospitals because patients often have an entry ...

By reducing PBP2a levels by exosome-delivered siMecA-AGO2 complex, MRSA can be converted into methicillin-sensitive bacteria. Thus, coadministration of methicillin (i.p.) and siMecA-Exos (i.v ...

The MRSA bacteria has mesh-like cell walls around them which use enzymes to knit together. These enzymes are what penicillin ...

However, what surveillance? Passive surveillance, that is, testing those who have clinical signs or symptoms of MRSA infection, or active surveillance, that is, testing those at high risk for ...

This is demonstrated in the treatment of MRSA infection by mouse liver-produced siMecA-Exos. In addition, exosome-mediated RNAi may function with imperfectly matched sequences, so exosomal miRNAs ...

The antibiotic teixobactin—developed a decade ago by Northeastern University professors Kim Lewis and Slava Epstein in ...
