Understanding Antibiotic Resistance in Golden Staph
Grant number: 628652 | Funding period: 2010 - 2012
Completed
Abstract
The common bacteria Staphylococcus aureus causes many infections in humans, and is becoming more resistant to antibiotic treatments, especially in hospitals. This project will determine how this bacteria is developing resistance to some of our last available antibiotics. This will provide an important basis for detecting and preventing this antibiotic resistance problem in future.
