Articles about 'MRSA'

Rising resistance to antibiotics is a worrying prospect, but a success story happening across the farms of the UK gives hope that something can be done.

A survey carried out earlier this year has found the first evidence of the ‘superbug’ bacteria Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) in sausages and minced pork obtained from supermarkets in the UK. However, researchers stress that this does not pose a significant immediate risk to the public.

Whole genome sequencing of MRSA from a hospital in Asia has demonstrated patterns of transmission in a resource-limited setting, where formal screening procedures are not feasible.

Analysis of a supposed outbreak of MRSA in a Cambridge hospital raises questions about whether the superbug can be completely eradicated, despite a national policy of zero-tolerance

Using whole genome sequencing, scientists have found two independent human cases of infection have been linked to livestock.

Can whole genome sequencing provide the forensic information needed to map and control the global spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria?

Scientists who recently discovered a new strain of superbug have now tracked its transmission between animals and humans.

Researchers use genome sequencing to dissect and control an MRSA outbreak.

Study highlights benefits of rapid whole-genome sequencing.

Antibiotic resistant bacteria found in both humans and dairy cows.
