Seasonal Preference Discovered In Strains Of MRSA; Children At Higher Risk In Summer, Seniors In Winter

Strains of potentially deadly, antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria show seasonal infection preferences, putting children at greater risk in summer and seniors at greater risk in winter, according to results of a new nationwide study led by a Johns Hopkins researcher. It's unclear why these seasonal and age preferences for infection with methicillin-resistant Staph aureus (MRSA) occur, says Eili Klein, Ph.D., lead author on the study and a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Center for Advanced Modeling in the Social, Behavioral and Health Sciences...

    How fascinating. However, no matter what the season or age, this is a potentially serious condition, obviously due to resistance. Fortunately, Microbiologist, Michelle Moore, has made advancement in this area, after having her own resistant case, and has developed her own, natural and safe treatment modality (Reference: www.staph-infection-resources.com). Great post. Thank-you for sharing your findings.
