MRSA: current research projects

MRSA research in the Department of Biological Sciences is currently focussed on MRSA infections in companion animals. Mainly in the dog there has been an increase in MRSA infections following treatment in veterinary clinics.

As our veterinary microbiology research is focussed on application of (novel) anti-microbial compounds, their effectiveness on Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) is also investigated. Based on this research several novel applications and novel compounds have been tested and developed by the University of Lincoln to help protect against MRSA infection in dogs.
These include:

  • anti-MRSA Pet-bedding
  • anti-MRSA wound Cream and wound Powder
  • Particpating in research
