MU News: Infectious bacteria received a taste of their own medicine from University of Missouri researchers who used viruses to infect and kill colonies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, common disease-causing bacteria. The viruses, known as bacteriophages, could be used to efficiently sanitize water treatment facilities and may aid in the fight against deadly antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

EurekAlert: Scientists have isolated and studied the genomes of 11 viruses, known as phage, that can infect and kill the acne-causing bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, potentially paving the way for topical therapies that use viruses or viral products to treat this vexing skin condition. Their results are reported in the September 25 issue of mBio(R), the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.

Cost-effectivenes study of renal sympathetic denervation published. |
|
|
|
Medgadget: A new article published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that the Medtronic renal denervation system, Symplicity, is a cost-effective strategy for treatment-resistant Hypertension. Currently, the Symplicity system is only available for investigational use in the United States. The statistical model used suggests that incorporating Standard of Care medication therapy, including 3 or greater medications, with renal denervation could potentially reduce cardiovascular mortality by 30% and all-cause mortality by 15% when compared to Standard of Care alone.
