Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is a strain of staph bacteria that does not respond to antibiotics used to treat staph infections. About two out of every 100 people carry this strain of staph, according to the National Institutes of Health, and infections can be minor to ...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus“staph” (MRSA) Infections can range from skin and soft tissue infections (cellulitis, abscess), to urinary tract infections, osteomyelitis (bone), endocarditis (heart), pneumonia (lung) infections, and meningitis (brain infection). Incision/drainage of an ab...
An antibiotic that has shown effectiveness for bacterial pneumonia also appears successful in fighting methicillin-resistant staph infections, reports a team led by Duke Health. Thedrug, ceftobiprole, showed similar benefit when tested against the antibiotic daptomycin to treat complicated Staphylococcus aure...
Researchers originally set out to compare the efficacy of two antibiotics commonly used to treat staph skin infections, randomly giving 191 children either cephalexin, a classic anti-staph antibiotic known to work against the most common strains of the bacterium but not MRSA, or clindamycin, known ...

Staphcoccomycin (SCM) is a new member of the basic macrolide family of antibiotics which was isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. AS-NG 16. The production, purification and determination of physical and chemical properties of this novel metabolite have been completed. Comparison...
31,559 RP can be used (i) to treat bacterial infections, esp. due to Gram positive bacteria (e.g. MIC=0.2-2.5 mu g/ml against Staph. aureus, Sarcina lutea, Strept. faecalis, Strept. pyogenes, Dipl. pneumoniae, B. subtilis and B. cereus); (ii) to treat coccidiosis in poultry due...
Hultgren said that the kind of collaborative science that created GmPcides is what is needed to treat intractable problems like antimicrobial resistance. “Bacterial infections of every type are an important health problem, and they are increasingly becoming multi-drug resistant and thus harde...
Staph. + 1:10 ATCC murein 5.4 × 105 ___ In preliminary in vivo tests with mice it has also been demonstrated that staphylocidin-containing fractions prepared in accordance with the present invention exhibit no apparent toxicity to the host animal. Thus, in a first test employing an autoclav...
especially ones that treat niche infections, or at least help pay for outside researchers looking into the drugs. The report suggests “de-linking” the profitability of antibiotics from sales by offering “market entry rewards” of $800 million to $1.3 billion for companies ...
