Halogenated phenazines could lead to cure for persistent MRSA infections: Florida researchers
by Staff from Outbreak News Today on (#SHXQ)
The series of compounds known as the halogenated phenazines, or HPs, can kill dangerous bacterial biofilms present in recurring and chronic bacterial infections such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. The discovery may one day offer a cure for persistent bacterial infections that are largely resistant to conventional antibiotic treatments. "Using synthetic chemistry, we have ["]
