Following one of the largest sewage spills in U.S. history, University of Maryland researchers have detected high levels of ...

MSSA and MRSA are Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria with different resistance patterns. MRSA is resistant to many antibiotics and is more difficult to treat. Both types of bacteria can cause ...

Scientists at LSU have patented a novel way to kill cancer cells using staph bacteria, sometimes called the “superbug.” ...

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 ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have discovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which Staphylococcus aureus—one of the most common causes of skin and soft ...

Chronic lung diseases are often accelerated and exacerbated by polymicrobial infections. An international study team led by MedUni Vienna has identified two types of these so-called dysbioses in ...

Some microbes can be quite clingy. Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterial species responsible for staph infections, latches onto human skin with one of the strongest biological bonds ever recorded, ...

The most detailed study to date on the mechanisms by which a common type of bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, adapts to living on the human body could help improve the prevention, diagnosis, and ...
