The MRSA superbug has evolved into 'fitter' strains which could prove even more resistant to treatment, a leading scientist warned on Tuesday. Professor Hajo Grundmann, a world expert in ...

MRSA is an antimicrobial resistance (AMR) superbug that causes over 120,000 deaths per year. Given the urgent need for new, more effective antibiotics and a lack of MRSA vaccines, understanding ...

Many of these deaths are due to MRSA - Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus - the most common 'superbug' found in hospitals. What singles MRSA out from other bacteria is that it cannot be ...

Emerging strains of a deadly ‘superbug’ seem to have picked up an advantage over other micro-organisms: a chemical weapon that kills competing bacteria 1. A gut bacterium called Enterococcus ...

Several types of bacteria found by the five-person team produce an antibiotic that acts against the notorious hospital superbug, MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus.) One in ...

As with penicillin, only a year passed after this semi-synthetic penicillin was released before methicillin-resistant Staph aureus (MRSA) was reported. Initially, MRSA only appeared in hospitals ...

Louis sheds light on how the superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is introduced into households and how it can spread among family members. Shown are the study's senior ...

siMecA-AGO2 complex inhibits the translation of the mecA gene which encodes the penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), a protein at the heart of the drug-resistance phenotype in MRSA. By reducing ...
