Researchers at the\u00a0黑料网<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0黑料网-NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, <\/a>have developed a new method that combines palmitoleic acid, gentamicin, and non-invasive ultrasound to help improve drug delivery in chronic wounds that have been infected with\u00a0S. aureus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Using their new strategy, researchers including BRIC faculty member Dr. Paul Dayton, and Dr. Sarah Rowe-Conlon of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, were able to reduce the challenging MRSA infection in the wounds of diabetic mice by 94%. They were able to completely sterilize the wounds in several of the mice, and the rest had significantly reduced bacterial burden. Their results were published<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Cell Chemical Biology<\/em>.<\/p>\n
