Experimental Staph Vaccine Broadly Protective In Animal Studies

, Va., to establish a network for tracking antibiotic resistance in S. aureus. The Network on Antimicrobial Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (NARSA) is designed to enhance communication and collaboration among all investigators, from basic scientists to clinicians, studying this problem. To that end, the NARSA contractor will: develop an Internet Web site and electronic bulletin board; evaluate and compare methods for testing antibiotic susceptibility; and establish a repository of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus isolates for distribution to NARSA investigators, among other tasks.

NIAID supports ongoing projects to sequence the genomes of two S. aureus strains. Researchers at The Institute for Genomic Research in Rockville, Md., are sequencing a methicillin-resistant strain while a research team at the Oklahoma University Health Science Center is sequencing a strain that remains sensitive to antibiotics. These projects should help scientists identify S. aureus genes involved in the development of antibiotic resistance.
