TriPcides: A Dual-Action Response to Resistant Staph

New TriPcide molecules kill MRSA superbugs and stop them from damaging tissue. This offers hope for fighting antibiotic resistance. Affects patients with staph infections.

Scientists have created new TriPcide molecules that are effective against MRSA. This is important because MRSA is hard to treat with current medicines.

Domestic laundering of healthcare textiles: Disinfection efficacy and risks of antibiotic resistance transmission

I'm currently perplexed by what appears illogical to me.

I'd welcome perspective.

Next week I'm having planned major surgery: #TKR on the other knee.

Last month I had a pre-operative assessment: ECG, bloods, etc. This included swabbing & subsequent culture for #MRSA .

I was also given special antiseptic liquid wash & nasal cream to use for 4 days prior to surgery, along with instructions headed 'You tested positive for MRSA: here's what to do.'

I phoned for my blood & swab results: all good, but *be sure to use the wash & cream as instructed*. Huh?

1. Why take swabs & culture them (time, cost, labwork) if everyone is assumed positive?

2. Why issue wash & nasal cream (cost) to all if only some test positive?

I think I will like my new place on Mastodon. It’s like a calm in the Twitter maelstrom. Can’t wait to import my info from Twitter if I can get it to work. This will be a steep learning curve. I have no current contracts so I have a lot of time. I’m a grandmother to 8 amazing kids and I have a wonderful husband and 3 amazing sons and their wives. I’m a nurse with over 30 years experience and practice in infection prevention and control (IPAC) in numerous Heath care settings Previous editor in chief of Canadian Journal of Infection Control. Have participated in development of several provincial, regional, national and international #infectioncontrol guidelines and resources #ebola #dialysis #covid #handhygeine #handwashing #MRSA #VRE #cdifficile Retired 8 years ago and now do consulting on IPAC in health care and public sector.

Liebe #Medizinbubble und liebe #Forschende:

Ich leide jetzt seit 5 Jahren an #MRSA. Chronische Follikulitis durch S. Aureus.

Ich bin am Ende. Und verzweifelt.

Kennt sich irgendjemand von euch mit #phagen aus und mag mir einen Behandlungsplan erstellen oder mir sagen, welche Phage wie lange und wie einzunehmen?

Bitte auch um #Retröt.

Vielen Dank.

#A I-designed compounds can kill #drugresistant #bacteria
#MIT team used #artificialintelligence to design novel #antibiotics, two of which showed promise against #MRSA and #gonorrhea
Drugs are structurally distinct from any existing antibiotics, and appear to work by novel mechanisms that disrupt bacterial cell membranes. This makes them less vulnerable to antibiotic resistance, a growing problem: estimated drug-­resistant bacterial infections cause nearly 5M deaths/yr.

My husband is a below the knee amputee. Traumatic motorcycle accident in 1992. He walks with a prosthetic leg on his right. He has a very bad #MRSA infection on his left leg. He is due for a new prosthetic in less than a month. I don't know if I can keep him alive that long. The prosthetic leg has a few points of failure right now.
