Abstract

An analysis of results of treatment of 100 patients with postinjectional abscesses (PA) has shown their tendency to continuous inflammation in (23.9 +/- 5.4)% of the cases. Under condition of long duration of PA microorganisms of Staphylococcus aureus species have been isolated which possess 2-6 times greater capacity for inactivating the natural antiinfectious resistance factors: lysozyme, complement, immunoglobulins, bacterial component of the interferon. The inclusion of oxytocin preparation into the scheme of treatment which inhibits manifestations of antilysozymal activity of staphylococci allowed the frequency of prolonged unfavourable periods of PA to be reduced to 10.9%.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
