Pneumonia contracted outside a hospital caused by a staph bacterium, including a "superbug" strain, may be more common in U.S. children than previously thought, health officials said on Wednesday. 
What makes one bacterium so deadly

Scientists have discovered some of the most aggressive antibiotic-resistant staph infections gain their advantage with a molecule that punctures the immune cells trying to fight off the bacteriaCommunity-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA). Understanding the role of this molecule in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) could lead to new therapies for the notoriously hard-to-treat, and sometimes fatal, skin infection.
This article is about antibiotic-resistant staph infections. It give us a question how to use antibiotic and how to prevent the Staphylococcus aureus.
Superbug Gained Resistance from Neighboring Bacteria

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.
Toxic Shock–Like Syndrome Associated with Staphylococcal Enterocolitis in an HIV-Infected Man

"A human immunodeficiency virus–infected individual developed severe secretory diarrhea due to infection with Staphylococcus aureus. When octreotide therapy was initiated, a toxic shock–like syndrome developed that was associated with fever, multisystem organ damage, and ultimately, desquamation of the palms and soles. The isolate was methicillin susceptible and produced enterotoxins B and C. This is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of toxic shock syndrome to develop secondary to staphylococcal enterocolitis in an adult."
Drug-resistant bacterial infections serious complication after corrective eye surgery

"Drug-resistant bacteria can complicate treatment after many surgical procedures. In particular, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which has been found in many healthcare settings, can be a serious post-operative complication. In a study published in the April issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology, researchers found MRSA infections in the eyes of 12 patients after refractive surgery."
Abandon hope all implant bacteria
Reviver2 submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.newscientisttech.com)
Bacteria are going to find it much harder to grow on medical implants and so cause infections thanks to a new technique for attaching antibiotics to polymers.Marek Urban at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg reacted a polymer, expanded polytetrafluorethylene, with maleic anhydride. This created acid groups on the polymer's surface, to which they attached polyethyleneglycol chains of varying lengths.
