Prevalence of methicillin resistant coagulase negative staphylococci in a tertiary care hospital
Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2010 Background and Objectives: Presence of methicillin and multidrug resistance has associated coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The present study was carried out to study the susceptibility pattern of CNS to

An observational prospective study of topical acidified nitrite for killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in contaminated wounds [PDF]
, 2011 Background Endogenous nitric oxide (NO) kills bacteria and other organisms as part of the innate immune response. When nitrite is exposed to low pH, NO is generated and has been used as an NO delivery system to treat skin infections.

Inducible Clindamycin Resistance among Staphylococci Isolated from Burn Patients
Libyan Journal of Medicine, 2009 Clindamycin has been used successfully to treat pneumonia and soft-tissue infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. However, inducible clindamycin resistance has been described as a cause of treatment failure of such infections. A
