據外媒報道，澳大利亞北部地區醫學人員從具有耐藥性的超級細菌金黃色葡萄球菌中發現了一種新的“銀色”菌株。
據報道，研究人員希望這種銀色葡萄球菌可以幫助他們了解，受到金黃色葡萄球菌感染的病人是如何對甲氧西林等青霉素類抗生素產生耐藥性的。
部分原文報道如下：
A new “silver” strain of the increasingly virulent and antibiotic-resistant staphylococcus bacteria superbug has been discovered by Northern Territory medical researchers.
They hope the discovery of Staphylococcus argenteus will help them understand how the well-known golden staph infection has been able to develop resistance to standard penicillin antibiotics such as methicillin.
