Nasal Iodophor vs Nasal Mupirocin With Chlorhexidine Baths to Prevent Infections in Adult ICUs
Nasal mupirocin plus chlorhexidine baths in ICUs prevents methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections but raises concern about antibiotic resistance. JAMA Senior Editor Kristin Walter, MD, speaks with Susan Huang, MD, of University of California, Irvine, about a study comparing iodophor vs mupirocin with chlorhexidine bathing for ICU-attributable S aureus clinical cultures.

Weirdly flowing water finally has an explanation:'quantum friction '
How quantum friction explains water’s strange flows in carbon nanotubes, and the latest from the Nature Briefing.In this episode:00:53 A theory for water’s baffling behaviour in carbon nanotubesAt large scales, water flows faster through a wider pipe than a narrower one. However, in tiny carbon nanotubes flow-rate is flipped, with water moving faster through the narrowest channels. This week, researchers have come up with a new explanation for this phenomenon: quantum friction. If validated, it could allow material designers to fine-tune flows through tiny channels, which could be useful in processes such as water puri...

Nature PastCast, August 1975: Antibodies ’ ascendency to blockbuster drug status
This year, Nature celebrates its 150th birthday. To mark this anniversary we’re rebroadcasting episodes from our PastCast series, highlighting key moments in the history of science.They’re found in home-testing kits for pregnancy, hospital tests for MRSA, and in six out of ten of the best-selling drugs today. But monoclonal antibodies have kept a surprisingly low profile since their debut in a Nature paper in 1975. This podcast follows them from that time through patent wars, promising drug trials and finally to blockbuster status today.This episode was first broadcast in August 2013.From the archive:Continuous culture...

"Mudicinal Properties" -- The Discovery Files
Arizona State University and Mayo Clinic researchers have found that one type of clay, Oregon blue clay, may help fight disease-causing bacteria in wounds, including treatment-resistant bacteria. In laboratory tests, the researchers found that the clay has antibacterial effects against bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, including strains such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Infections: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
Dr. Sandra Fowler, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist, discusses the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, describing the mechanism by which the community-acquired strain may have flourished in recent years. She explains symptomology and treatment of this strain, noting the low fatality rate as compared to the hospital-associated strain of MRSA. Dr. Fowler also offers precautionary measures against development of MRSA, pointing to the importance of good hand hygiene. (Source: MUSC Dermatology Podcast)

Who, when and how: Screening for MRSA
Meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains one of the foremost hospital acquired pathogens.
Patients colonised or infected with MRSA provide a reservoir within hospitals, although infection prevention and control measures minimise the risk of transmission.
Although there is broad agreement on the control measures required for... (Source: The BMJ Podcast)
