CDC Campaign Targets MRSA Infections

A national campaign to teach parents how to protect kids from skin infections caused by dangerous methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria was launched this week by the US Centers for Disease ... 
Gentle approach could cripple drug-resistant bugs

Taking a softly, softly approach to wiping out infection might be the way to beat the evolution of drug resistance in bacteria.
This new technique involves blocking the tularaemia bacterium's ability to sense human hormones. Although testing in human subjects is at least five years off, the bacteria's ability to kill mice was "crippled" by the alterations.
New antibiotic beats superbugs at their own game

The problem with antibiotics is that, eventually, bacteria outsmart them and become resistant. But by targeting the gene that confers such resistance, a new drug may be able to finally outwit them. Rockefeller University scientists tested the new drug, called Ceftobiprole, against some of the deadliest strains of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria, which are responsible for the great majority of staphylococcal infections worldwide, both in hospitals and in the community
The emergence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ...exaggerated

Headlines about S maltophilia, including "no antibiotics can stop it" and "rising death toll in hospitals" are unfounded, write Georgia Duckworth and Alan Johnson, from the Health Protection Agency's Centre for Infections in London. In fact, they say, S maltophilia infections are relatively rare compared to infections caused by bacteria such as meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Resistance to drugs responsible for half of deaths from infections

Multidrug resistant bacteria are responsible for about half of the 37,000 deaths a year in the 27 member states of the European Union that are caused by infections associated with health care, show the preliminary results of research from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in Stockholm.
Drug-resistant tuberculosis plagues the former U.S.S.R.
Darkfrog submitted, created time 9 months 4 days (www.nytimes.com)
In 1994, experts believed that drug-resistant TB would not become a mainstream problem, that it would be restricted to immunosuppressed patients. It's in the world, though, and we have to deal with it.
Strains of tuberculosis resistant to first-line drugs are increasing in prevalence in the countries that once comprised the Soviet Union. The antibiotics to correct are one hundred times more expensive than standard and must be taken for two years.
Tuberculosis exposure feared on India-to-U.S. flight

U.S. health officials are trying to track down 44 people who sat near a woman infected with a hard-to-treat form of tuberculosis aboard an airliner from India to determine whether they have been infected, authorities said on Friday.
The evolution of a killer---tuberculosis
jane2007 submitted, created time 1 year 2 days (www.nature.com)
The work suggests that if better tuberculosis surveillance programmes had been in place during the past decade in developing countries, antibiotic treatments could have been better tailored to patients, and the emergence of extensively drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis (XDR-TB) could have been delayed.
This article narrates the history and the current status of the killer--- tuberculosis. I think the difficulty or the mission is in the text too.
Superbug Gained Resistance from Neighboring Bacteria
crazy submitted, created time 1 year 2 weeks (www.sciam.com)
The bacterium Staphylococcus is known for its ability to develop resistance to most classes of antibiotics soon after they enter widespread clinical use. Vancomycin--a so-called last-ditch drug--can stop many of these multidrug-resistant strains. But some bacteria that are closely related to S. aureus--which often causes life-threatening infections in hospital settings--can fend off vancomycin, prompting concerns that soon S. aureus will, too
Superbug Knocks Out Patient's Defense

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA infect immunocompromised and sick people in hospitals. Researchers have discovered how these bugs, which some see as a major public health threat, do their damage. They discovered that CA-MRSA strains produce peptides called phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs) in much greater quantities than do hospital strains. When the researchers knocked out the genes for four of these peptides, the so-called α-type PSMs, CA-MRSA bacteria became much milder in mice: Skin infections were less severe, and bacteremia was less often fatal.
Drug-resistant bacteria found to trick immune system
Eric wu submitted, created time 1 year 2 weeks (www.reuters.com)
Drug-resistant bacteria called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, may be able to first lure and then destroy immune system cells when they are the most vulnerable, researchers said on Sunday.
(The news has given us a warning of not abusing Drug-resistant bacteria. These drugs would destroy our immune system and the result is very harmfull to all of us.So,I recommend this article. )
Fusing nanotechnology with cell biology to battle the ‘superbug’

Nanotechnology scientists at the University of Idaho start ed a new project with a view to integrating nanonmaterials research with cell biology and bioscience research. He said that his team was trying to harness nanowires and other nanomaterials to hijack the methods bacteria use for toxin delivery, and to deliver drug therapies specifically to infected cells.
HIV and TB emerge as African epidemic

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Cape Town, South Africa, is among the worst cities in the region affected by a epidemic of HIV and drug-resistant tuberculosis.
The BBC in Cape Town reported that children in the city’s slums are 100 times more likely to contract TB than elsewhere in the world.
