■Scientists develop coating that can eliminate MRSA
Scientists have created a coating that works against methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus. The coating contains the enzyme lysostaphin, which is harmful to bacterial cells but not to human cells. During tests, the coating killed 100% of MRSA bacteria that came in contact with it within 20 minutes, the researchers said. WebMD (8/17)
