  9. Immune system protein starves 'staph' bacteria
    02-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
    A multi-disciplinary team led by Vanderbilt University investigators has discovered that a protein inside certain immune system cells blocks the growth of "staph" bacteria by sopping up manganese and zinc.The findings, reported Feb. 15 in Science, support the notion that binding metals -- to starve bacteria -- is a viable therapeutic option for treating localized bacterial infections. New treatments are urgently needed to combat antibiotic-resistant forms of staph, such as MRSA.
