Read more about our latest paper on S. aureus using an alternative mode of cell division to resist the effects of methicillin

The University of Sheffield @sheffielduni Nov 1, 2024

MRSA, an antimicrobial resistance superbug, causes over 120,000 deaths per year. A new study led by @sheffielduni, funded by @UKRI, has revealed the bugs’ double defence mechanism against antibiotics - a crucial step in developing new ways to target its survival strategy. Read more 👇

We are very excited to announce our latest work on how MRSA conquers antibiotics. We show that high-level resistance to methicillin requires S. aureus to utilise an alternative mode of cell division to ensure its survival! @Sheffield_AFM @Olulana4
