Explosive death for 'resistant'MRSA

摘要

An antibody which causes MRSA bacteria to explode rather than divide brings hope for a universal vaccine. MRSA is a highly antibiotic-resistant form of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus which kills about 20,000 people in the US alone each year. Although a small number of antibiotics work against MRSA, the bacterium continually evolves resistant strains.
