Osteomyelitis is a debilitating bone infection. It is most frequently caused by iStaphylococcus aureus/i ("staph") bacteria and is particularly challenging to treat. Now, Vanderbilt microbiologist Eric Skaar, Ph.D., MPH, and colleagues have identified a staph-killing compound that may be an effective treatment for osteomyelitis, and they have developed a new mouse model that will be useful for testing this compound and for generating additional therapeutic ...Monday, 5 August 2013
