MRSA Notes

Some new research presented by ScientistLive regarding fish slime and Staph bacteria:

Researchers in Norway have discovered that a protein in the slime covering the flatfish plaice contains a substance that kills the bacteria staphylococcus.

Chemical engineer Trude Tvete has found a bacteria-killing protein in plaice slime, isolated the protein from the slime and tested it on staphylococcus bacteria.

“The protein from fish slime has proven itself to be extremely deadly for the bacteria I have tested”, says researcher Trude Tvete, Nord-Trondelag University College (HiNT) in Norway.
