Researchers have identified a spider-like antibacterial mechanism by immune cells that could inspire Staphylococcus aureus treatments.
Understanding how Staphylococcus aureus bacteria colonises skin affected by atopic dermatitis could lead to new treatments that help prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance, say scientists.
Researchers have engineered F12, a lysin-based antibacterial drug, to have limited negative side-effects and so it can be administered repeatedly without loss of efficacy.
The novel vaccine 4X-SA-GP harnesses the anti-fungal immune response to provide immunity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection.
A new vaccine against the Staphylococcus aureus infection has proven effective in experiments with mice, with an 80 percent survival rate.
