Researchers explore promising treatment for MRSA ‘superbug’
A new Cornell study has found the antimicrobial properties of certain stem cell proteins could offer a potential treatment to reduce infection in skin wounds.
‘Fortunate Accident’ May Yield Immunity Weapon Against Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
In what turned out to be one of the most important accidents of all time, Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming returned to his laboratory after a vacation in 1928 to find a clear zone surrounding a piece of mold that had infiltrated a petri dish full of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a common skin bacterium he was growing.
NEW STRATEGY EMERGES FOR VACCINE AGAINST METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCAL AUREUS
Experiments in mice have shown early success in vaccinating them against potentially deadly bacterial infections, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcal aureus, or MRSA, the strain resistant to most drug treatments.
UH and Cupron Collaborate to Provide Reusable Copper-Infused Masks to Caregivers
University Hospitals in Cleveland is using masks made with a copper-infused fabric has been clinically validated to reduce the spread of hospital acquired infections such as C. Diff and MRSA. The masks are made by Cupron, Inc, a tech company that uses the properties of copper for healthcare and other uses.
Presence of Staph Bacteria in Skin Microbiome Promotes Netherton Syndrome Inflammation
Netherton syndrome is exacerbated by the presence of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis living on human skin report University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers.
No Benefit Found in Using Broad-spectrum Antibiotics as Initial Pneumonia Treatment
Doctors who use drugs that target antibiotic-resistant bacteria as a first-line defense against pneumonia should probably reconsider this approach, according to a new study of more than 88,000 veterans hospitalized with the disease. The study found that pneumonia patients given these medications in the first few days after hospitalization fared no better than those receiving standard medical care for the condition.
Mount Sinai Physicians the First in U.S. Analyzing Lung Disease in Coronavirus (COVID-19) Patients from China
Findings from CT scans provide new insight that could lead to quicker diagnosis
McMaster researchers uncover hidden antibiotic potential of cannabis
The research team found that CBG had antibacterial activity against drug-resistant MRSA. It prevented the ability of that bacteria to form biofilms, which are communities of microorganisms that attach to each other and to surfaces; and it destroyed preformed biofilms and cells resistant to antibiotics. CBG achieved this by targeting the cell membrane of the bacteria.
These findings in the laboratory were supported when mice with an MRSA infection were given CBG.
A self-cleaning surface that repels even the deadliest superbugs
A team of researchers at McMaster University has developed a self-cleaning surface that can repel all forms of bacteria, preventing the transfer of antibiotic-resistant superbugs and other dangerous bacteria in settings ranging from hospitals to kitchens.
