Mathematical modeling suggests that the rate at which a patient’s immune system clears slow-growing variants of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria is a key determinant ...

Researchers have developed a new vaccine that protects against lethal pneumonia caused by Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria, including drug-resistant strains like MRSA. The new vaccine ...

MRSA and Staph. MRSA is a type of staph, so people can develop the same types of infections with either organism. The difference between the two is that MRSA is more difficult to treat since it is ...

On average, 30% of people are Staph carriers and an average of 1 to 5% are MRSA carriers. Although MRSA carriers may never become infected themselves, they can spread the bacteria to individuals ...

A computer-based model could help hospitals control outbreaks of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and identify MRSA patients who don’t show symptoms, according to a study published in ...

A research team reports on a new method to help health officials control outbreaks of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, a life-threatening antibiotic-resistant infection often ...

Staphylococcus aureus, bacteria which commonly cause drug-resistant infections to take hold after prosthetic surgery, shield themselves inside of naturally occurring molecules to survive, ...

University of Iowa researchers have developed a new vaccine that protects against lethal pneumonia caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, including drug-resistant strains like MRSA. The new ...

Bedbugs may be able to acquire and transmit methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to a study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. Here's what to know.

Model Laboratory School sent a letter home Tuesday with each of its 685 students informing parents the school learned Monday afternoon about a seventh-grader who had been diagnosed with an ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by the uncontrolled spread of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus—which is usually called staph. Primarily, the staph ...

A serious staph infection that doesn't respond to antibiotic treatment can develop from any wound, including a spider bite. It's also possible to mistake MRSA infections for a spider bite at first.
