Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: the superbug [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010
Over the last decade, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains have emerged as serious pathogens in the nosocomial and community setting. Hospitalization costs associated with MRSA infections are substantially greater than those associated with methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) infections, and MRSA has wider economic effects that

The Detection Of Methicillin Resistance In Staphylococcus Aureus [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1969
Summary Some methicillin-resistant cultures of Staphylococcus aureus give equivocal results when tested in disk diffusion tests or tube dilution MIC tests incubated at 37°C. Practically all resistant cultures have the following characters: (1) they give growth up to or to within 1 mm of a 10 μg methicillin disk in a disk diffusion test on nutrient agar

Macrophage‐derived MLKL in alcohol‐associated liver disease: Regulation of phagocytosis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
EtOH causes leaky gut allowing bacteria and PAMPs into the liver, resulting in hepatic inflammation and injury. We demonstrate that LPS induces STAT1‐mediated expression and phosphorylation of MLKL in macrophages and identify a novel function that myeloid MLKL translocates to phagosomes and lysosomes and regulates phagocytosis, which contributes to the
