International scientists to present MRSA research in Liverpool

est data on tracking the spread and antibiotic resistance of bacteria that cause disease in hospitals and in the wider community. This data is important to assess whether MRSA strains are increasing or decreasing in number and to provide advice to doctors on how to treat patients that might be at risk.

Dr Horsburgh added: "My work in this area focuses on the mechanisms that the bacterium uses to avoid our immune system. The immune system is very complex and effective most of the time, yet these bacteria are able to survive despite the body's attempts to defeat them. This is why Staph aureus is particularly harmful to elderly people and those who are ill or who have undergone surgery, as this is when the body's immune system is compromised."

The conference will take place from Tuesday 11, April to Wednesday, 12 April.
