Drug-resistant Staph

It has recently been reported that Norway has found the solution to killing the “Superbug”, also known as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). MRSA can actually be controlled without too much effort says medical advisors in Norway ...  

Medical advisors in Norway claim that there is not too much to control MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). They report, according to their studies, that too many times we overly use antibiotics and over use of them can cause MRSA to ...  

eldavojohn writes "Studies are showing that Norway's dirtiest hospitals are actually cleaner than most other countries', and the reason for this is that Norwegians stopped taking antibiotics. A number of factors like paid sick leave and now restrictions on advertising for drugs make Norway an anomaly when it comes to diseases like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A Norwegian doctor explains, 'We don't throw antibiotics at...  

MRSA or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium which can cause infection in your body. MRSA is a rare staph infection. In fact, approximately 20-30% of healthy people are staph carriers  

MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a bacterium that can cause serious infections. The seriousness of its infection increases due to the fact that it is resistant to numerous antibiotics of the beta-lactam family, including methicillin and penicillin.  

Norway has controlled Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with a few simple measures: Norwegian doctors prescribe fewer antibiotics than any other country, so people do not have a chance to develop resistance to them. Patients with MRSA are isolated and medical staff who test positive stay at home. Doctors track each case of MRSA by its individual strain, interviewing patients

Bio-Clean, Inc. (OTCBB: BOCL) ("Bio-Clean" or the "Company") announced that testing of its Clean Kill Non-Alcohol based hand sanitizer has proved that it can be an effective weapon against the epidemic spread of MRSA and Staph. MRSA infection is caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria - often called "staph." MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.  

The often feared and sometimes deadly infections caused by MRSA -- methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus -- are now moving out of hospitals and emerging as an even more virulent strain in community settings and on athletic teams, and raising new concerns about antibiotic resistance.  

Researchers in Germany have identified a new antimicrobial peptide that demonstrates significant activity against a variety of bacteria, including multiresistant human strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). The discovery was made while investigating the ancient metazoan organism Hydra magnipapillata.  

MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) and other drug-resistant bacteria could face annihilation as low-temperature plasma prototype devices have been developed to offer safe, quick, easy and unfailing bactericidal cocktails. Two prototype devices have been developed: one for efficient disinfection of healthy skin (e.g.  

A new study suggests that community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is on the rise in US hospitals, and is adding to rather than replacing the type of MRSA that arises within hospitals, the hospital-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA); the study authors also found tha  

Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of the sanofi-aventis Group, announced today that it has entered into an exclusive, world-wide licensing agreement with Syntiron to develop and commercialize its prophylactic vaccine against Staphylococcus, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA is responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans, because these bacteria are resistant ...(198 words)  

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cases of a drug-resistant bacterial infection known as MRSA have risen by 90 percent since 1999, and they are increasingly being acquired outside hospitals, researchers reported on Tuesday. They found two new strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus -- MRSA for short -- were circulating in patients and they are different from the strains normally seen in hospitals. Ramanan Laxminarayan of Princeton...  

The community-acquired strain of the deadly Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pathogen is presenting larger health issues than first believed, reports Science Daily. MRSA is a bacteria that can cause serious infection and is resistant to most antibiotics, noted Science Daily, citing a recent study in next month's issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases. MRSA now has two main strains. The traditional, hospital-acquired MRSA (HA...
