Objective: Captopril is a long-acting human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that has been used to treat hypertension and heart failure for many years. In this study, it was aimed to determine the antimicrobial activity of L-captopril on Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus...
to treat bacterial infections in humans. Bacteria such asStreptomycesand Bacillus, as well as fungi likePenicilliumand Aspergillus, are well-known producers of antibiotics. These microorganisms have the genetic machinery to synthesize complex molecules withantimicrobial properties. Through a process of ...
MRSA is the abbreviation for methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus.Staphylococcusis a group of bacteria, familiarly known as staph (pronounced "staff"), that can cause a multitude of diseases as a result of infection of various tissues of the body.

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. Read More No Comments...
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. ...
aStaphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a virulent organism resistant to most of the conventionally prescribed antibiotics. It is difficult to treat long-term staphylococcal infections such as endocarditis, osteomyelitis and especially those infections associated with implanted medical devices. One reason the...
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... TJ Foster - 《Trends in Microbiology》 被引量: 3发表: 20...
which have nearly doubled in Europe in the past decade. The lack of effective antibiotics means that amputating a limb is sometimes the only way to treat an infected skin ulcer in a diabetic patient. At the Chan Zuckerberg Hospital, most heartbreaking are the paediatric wards. They are full...
as an infant is unlikely to be recolonized with a second dose of vaginal microbes. The composition of the gut microbiome of infants born by Caesarean section has been directly linked with increased susceptibility to, and frequency of infection by, methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) [34...
Antibiotics are overused for conditions they do not treat, such as viral infections like cold or flu. Antibiotic overuse is leading to antibiotic
