Researchers have revealed how Staphylococcus aureus bacteria extract iron from hemoglobin—a process crucial to their survival during infections. Using a novel time-resolved X-ray solution scattering ...

The largest study of its kind has found hospital workers' phones are carrying the same superbugs that kill millions of people worldwide each year. An international team of researchers, including ...

What makes S. aureus so dangerous? The virulence of S. aureus lies in its ability to adapt to environmental pressures and immune defenses quickly. A central feature of its survival strategy is the ...

A new study shows efficacy and safety of oral antibiotic therapy, in the form of pills, for Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections. Currently, infusions are the standard treatment. An ...

We are providing an unedited version of this manuscript to give early access to its findings. Before final publication, the manuscript will undergo further editing. Please note there may be errors ...

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the leading causes of infections acquired in the community and after surgery or hospital. Around 30% of individuals carry S. aureus in their nose, pharynx ...

Staphylococcus bacteria cause staph infections. There are many types of staph infections, and depending on the cause, doctors may use antibiotics, surgery, or other methods to treat them. A staph ...

Scientists have demonstrated for the first time how Staphylococcus aureus—a leading cause of skin infections—reshapes the immune system's inflammatory responses in children with a rare skin condition.

Staphylococcus aureus employs a multifaceted arsenal to evade the action of antibiotics. Central to β-lactam resistance is the mecA determinant, which encodes penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) ...

Staphylococcal meningitis is an inflammatory condition that arises due to infection from Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. It causes inflammation in the protective lining around the brain. Meningitis is ...

The skin bacterium Staphylococcus aureus often develops antibiotic resistance. It can then cause infections that are difficult to treat. Researchers have now uncovered an ingenious way in which a ...
