Researchers turn scorpion venom and habanero peppers into powerful new antibiotics to fight life-threatening, drug-resistant ...
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause of skin and soft tissue infections that can sometimes lead to sepsis and toxic shock syndrome. The microbe poses a significant threat to public ...
Antibiotic resistance continues to push modern medicine into dangerous territory. In hospitals around the world, infections ...
Staphylococcus aureus employs a multifaceted arsenal of mechanisms to circumvent host defences and establish persistent infections across diverse tissues. Central to its success is the secretion of ...
In a new study, researchers show how so‑called TriPcides can target the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including antibiotic‑resistant strains such as MRSA. The compounds disrupt the bacteria's ...
Antibiotics are the old medicine cabinet standby for treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, but as antimicrobial resistance continues to mount globally, scientists ...
Imagine a child with eczema who scratches a patch of irritated skin. A tiny opening forms, invisible to the eye. Into that breach slips a common bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus. For many people, the ...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains a leading cause of difficult-to-treat infections worldwide, combining resistance to β-lactam antibiotics with an arsenal of virulence ...
Researchers have described how the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus genetically adapts to humans, including mutations that allow some strains to evade the immune system and become resistant to ...
The team used a novel time-resolved X-ray solution scattering (TR-XSS) technique at the ESRF, to identify the full sequence of protein–protein interactions during this iron ‘theft’. Researchers have ...
Staphylococcal meningitis is an inflammatory condition that arises due to infection from Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. It causes inflammation in the protective lining around the brain. Meningitis is ...
