MRSA has evolved into a serious public health concern, most recently in cities like Baltimore and Chicago
Two of the most clinically and commercially promising antibiotics in late-stage development are Johnson & Johnson/Basilea's ceftobiprole and Forest Laboratories/AstraZeneca/Takeda's ceftaroline, which are both broad-spectrum intravenous agents with anti-MRSA activity ... We forecast that these two agent...
Congratulations on an outstanding performance, particularly the achievement of the MRSA screening target. That’s fantastic.
My biggest concern for the DVDs would be the community MRSA that people pick up
It could be brought into hospitals by family members or the patients themselves. But MRSA is very prevalent, so it's not surprising that the community-acquired strain has found its way into hospitals.
Casey lost his best friend at school when they both were freshmen and his friend died from MRSA. That really made Casey grow up fast. It was such a terrible loss for him, and for all his fellow students.
We found during 1999-2006 that the percentage of S. aureus infections resistant to methicillin increased more than 90%, or 10% a year, in outpatients admitted to U.S. hospitals ... This increase was caused almost entirely by community-acquired MRSA strains.
Lastly, infection control policies should take into account the role that outpatients likely play in the spread of MRSA and promote interventions that could prevent spread of MRSA from outpatient areas to inpatient areas
This emerging epidemic of community-associated MRSA strains appears to add to the already high MRSA burden in hospitals
the answer to prevent or treat swine flu, MRSA, and other bacterial or viral infections, and superpathogens.
