Staphylococcus aureusis a gram-positive bacterium that is commonly known as the source of staph infections. The infection can cause a range of illnesses, varying from skin infections to life threatening conditions such as pneumonia and sepsis. Studies have shown that about one in three people (about 33%) is a carrier of the bacterium. Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcusaureus(MRSA) is a type of staph bacterium that is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics such as methicillin, penicillin, oxacillin and amoxicillin. MRSA poses a serious health problem, especially in hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities, but also in numerous public settings. There is an urgent need for new, effective prevention and treatment options for bacterial infections, and especially for MRSA infections.
Researchers at the University of New Mexico have developed a new treatment for bacterial infections by targeting the G protein-coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER). Targeting the host immune response through GPER may provide protection against and treatment for infections caused by many human pathogens.
