Super Staph: Invincible Bacteria?

Antibiotics have saved countless lives from potentially deadly infections—but bacteria keep rebounding in stronger mutations. This program focuses on one of the most lethal pathogens: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. Outlining the microbe’s alarming ability to withstand methicillin, amoxicillin, and related antibiotics, the program examines the emergence of two separate staph strains, healthcare-associated and community-associated, and features case studies of each. Dr. Benjamin Lipsky of the University of Washington and Dr. John Jernigan of the CDC explain the challenges of fighting these resilient killers. They also explore the possibility of an MRSA vaccine. (28 minutes)
