Two studies document rise of superbugs in the environment

As science gets wiser, so do the bugs. The rates of drug-resistant bacteria infecting patients in the community and in the hospital have been increasing steadily in recent years, according to two new studies in the June 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, now available online. Drug resistance in microorganisms has become a problem due in part to inappropriate prescribing and overuse...

Unusual antibiotics show promise against deadly 'superbugs'

Altered protein could help deliver drugs and shape the growth of engineered tissueCollagen often pops up in beauty products and supermodel lips. But by mating collagen with a molecular hitchhiker, materials scientists at Johns Hopkins hope to create some important medical advances. The researchers have found a simple new way to modify collagen, paving the way for better infection-fighting bandage...

Honey to the Rescue-From Superbugs

Man seems to rediscover old truths as Australian scientists now look to honey as a solution, to fight superbugs such as MRSA.// Scientists at James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough were inspired by the use of honey by the aborigines (indigenous tribal people of the continent), who use honey as a dressing for their wounds. Mention of honey and its benefits are seen in ancient I...

New Device Developed to Eliminate Superbugs Within Minutes

British researchers claim to have invented a device that mimics the naturally disinfecting quality of fresh air by pumping a continuing stream of reactive hydrogen radicals into the atmosphere , killing microbes within minutes. Scientists say the Air Disinfector can be used to purge hospital wards of superbugs. "The same results could be obtained simply by opening all the wi...

The Hospital Superbugs

Scientists at The University of Nottingham are amassing an arsenal of weapons in preparation for a counter-offensive against the most deadly of hospital superbugs . It infiltrates hospitals as microscopic spores. Its defences are so strong it can resist most antibiotics. And it kills three times as many people every year as MRSA. A research group led by Professor Nigel M...
