The discovery showed that Staphyloccocus aureus bacteria, which is highly resistant to antibiotics, can acquire additional genes that promote infections and antibacterial resistance and may open new paths for the development of
antibacterial drugs. The study, conducted by the Rutgers University in the US, showed the two genes, named copB and copL, in some strains of S.
In a statement, Rutgers said the discovery revealed that Staphylococcus aureus could acquire additional genes that promote infections and antibacterial resistance and may open new paths for the development of
antibacterial drugs.
The global rise of resistance to
antibacterial drugs has resulted in longer illnesses, more deaths, and increased treatment costs (1-4).
"To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Nuzyra and other
