Recovery of antimicrobial susceptibility in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): a retrospective, epidemiological analysis in a secondary care hospital, Sapporo, Japan [PDF]
Anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) drugs are critical final options for treating MRSA infection. This study investigated the percentage of all S. aureus isolates that are resistant to methicillin and also MRSA susceptibility to other

Biosynthetic engineering of the antifungal, anti-MRSA auroramycin [PDF]
Abstract Using an established CRISPR-Cas mediated genome editing technique for streptomycetes, we explored the combinatorial biosynthesis potential of the auroramycin biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces roseoporous. Auroramycin is a potent anti-MRSA polyene macrolactam.

Molecular Topology for the Search of New Anti-MRSA Compounds [PDF]
The variability of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), its rapid adaptive response against environmental changes, and its continued acquisition of antibiotic resistance determinants have made it commonplace in hospitals, where it causes the problem of multidrug resistance.

Bioactivity of compounds secreted by symbiont bacteria of Nudibranchs from Indonesia [PDF]
The aims of this work are to isolate bacterial symbionts from nudibranchs and subsequently to determine anti-Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), cytotoxicity and anti-Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) activities of bio compounds.
