TAMU Researchers Link PVL to Pnemonia

January 29th, 2007 · No Comments

tamu-health-science-centerResearchers at the Texas A&M Health Science Center (whoop!) have linked the PVL toxin in CA-MRSA to necrotizing pnemonia. This is frightening, but hopefully it is best to know what we are dealing with, rather than not knowing, which is so often the case with MRSA. I am going to let someone else more qualified tell you the details of the study, but suffice it to say, the information they have gathered so far is opening their eyes to the fact that we are truly running out of treatments for these superbugs, and we are going to have to come up with something.
