Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA):
MRSA infections constitute the majority of health care-associated infections, increasing lengths of hospital stay, severity of illness, deaths, and costs. While these infections used to be limited primarily to hospitals, they are becoming increasingly common in communities nationwide, especially where groups of people are in close quarters, including military facilities, sports teams, and prisons. The number of infected children jumped 28 percent between 2001 and 2004. Several treatment options are available for MRSA, but many have harsh side effects, and resistance is growing to each of them. Most of the drugs in development must be given by injection—a painful, inconvenient, and expensive route. Drugs that can be taken by mouth are desperately needed. |
