The School of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has invented two-dimensional novel antibacterial nano-sheets which can eliminate more than 99.72 percent of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in bone tissue. The study results have been published in Advanced Materials. MRSA is a common pathogenic bacteria of bone tissue infection (osteomyelitis). In severe patients,…

Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly significant public health issue in the United States. The problem is rapidly growing and is predicted to kill 10 million people every year by 2050 (pdf). Some pathogens have already become “superbugs” that are resistant to many types of antibiotics. “Diseases that have been treatable may become incurable as time goes on,” warned…
Manuka Honey Fights Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Plus so Much More
The steadily worsening problem of antibiotic-resistant pathogens – cause for grave concern in the medical community – has researchers working overtime to discover solutions. But several studies raise hope that Manuka honey may hold the key to combating MRSA and other drug-resistant strains. In one study conducted at Cardiff Metropolitan University and published in 2012 in Microbiology, researchers…
Natural Antibiotic Resists ‘Superbugs’
A newly discovered natural antibiotic, teixobactin, could be effective in treating bacterial lung conditions such as tuberculosis and those commonly associated with COVID-19, according to the new study. As bacteria evolve, they develop strategies that undermine antibiotics and morph into “superbugs” that can resist most available treatments and cause potentially lethal infections. The new work…
Compound in Dirt May Fight Super Tough Bacteria in Hospitals
Researchers have discovered a compound that could outmaneuver resistance to an antibiotic long used as a crucial last option. In animal experiments, this prospective antibiotic was highly potent against dangerous opportunistic pathogens like Acinetobacter baumannii, the most common cause of infections in health care settings. For years, public-health experts have sounded the alarm about the next…
