In a finding that will have broad implications for drug design, scientists have learnt how golden staph changes its shape to thwart last-line antibiotics.
Scientists based at Monash University's Biomedicine Discovery Institute used a giant microscope to document at a molecular level the changes that occurred in the bacteria when they became resistant to antibiotics.
The study, published in the journal mBio, found a "surprising, unorthodox method of resistance".
Nearly 1500 patients contracted golden staph in Australian public hospitals in 2014-15 and one in five cases were resistant to antibiotics, according to the latest government statistics.
The infection is also common in the community; most cases are harmless, but they can be deadly to people with sepsis.URL https://www.theherald.com.au/story/4694496/scientists-work-out-how-a-superbug-gets-its-power/?cs=7 Persons Matthew Belousoff Title Key to 'superbug' antibiotic resistance discovered Degree of recognition Regional Media name/outlet Monash Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 19/05/17 URL https://www.monash.edu/news/articles/key-to-superbug-antibiotic-resistance-discovered Persons Matthew Belousoff Title Monash researchers discover key to 'superbug' antibiotic resistance Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Lab online Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 19/05/17 Description Monash researchers discover key to 'superbug' antibiotic resistance Deaths from antimicrobial resistance could rise to 10 million by 2050, surpassing the total deaths caused by cancer and diabetes combined, according to the World Health Organization.

An international study led by Monash University has discovered the molecular mechanism by which the potentially deadly superbug ‘Golden Staph’ evades antibiotic treatment, providing the first important clues on how to counter superbug antibiotic resistance.

Researchers used the latest generation electron microscopes at the Monash Ramaciotti Centre for Cryo-Electron Microscopy to image at the molecular level – for the first time – the changes that take place in superbugs that have become resistant to the most modern antibiotics.URL https://www.monash.edu/medicine/discovery-institute/news-and-events/news/monash-researchers-find-key-to-superbug-antibiotic-resistance Persons Matthew Belousoff
