The article says that on November 19, 2008, the FDA will evaluate the drugs, televancin of Theravance Inc., oritavancin of Targanta Therapeutyics Corp. and iclaprim of the Swiss biotech firm Arpida Ltd. The drugs are to combat the bacterium, methicillin-resistat staphylococcus aureus (MRSA...
Two major divisions of the genusStaphylococcusare separated by the ability to produce coagulase, an enzyme that can clot blood. Most, but not all, human bacterial infectionsare caused by coagulase-positiveStaphylococcus aureusstrains. Staphylococcus epidermidisstrainsand otherStaphylococcusspecies that are c...
What antibiotics is staphylococcus epidermidis resistant to? What antibiotics are contraindicated in myasthenia gravis? What antibiotics is pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to? What bacterial infections does clindamycin treat? What antibiotics is salmonella resistant to?
Can β-Lactam Antibiotics Be Resurrected to Combat MRSA? The use of β-lactam antibiotics to treat infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus has been severely compromised by the acquisition by horizontal gene transfer of a gene that encodes the β-lactam-insensitive penicillin-binding protein...

Consuming Echinacea can prevent bacterial and viral infections, helping you fight the common cold, along with ear infections and other illnesses. There is also evidence to suggest that Echinacea can be used to fightStaphylococcus aureus—one of the most dangerous types of bacteria. ...
April 9, 2024 No Comments Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd. has been awarded a grant from CARB-X (Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator) to support initial preclinical activities on the antibiotics program recently acquired from Spexis. ...
These drug-resistant and multi-drug resis- tant (MDR) bacteria have been acknowledged by Govern- ments and scientists as one of the world's most pressing health issues; however, the discovery and development of new antibiotics and antibiotic-alternatives to treat these infections is not ...
Results: The cost of a 14-day treatment course for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia with a newly approved drug was found to be 6 to 60 times higher than that of older drugs. Similarly, the cost of a 14-day course for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales or MDR ...

A decade after the use of penicillin became widespread, more than half of common Staphylococcus bacteria in big hospitals were resistant to it. Bacteria strains resistant to newer antibiotics were often found just a year or two after doctors started using them. In response, drug firms churned out...
