The chemical also kills s. aureus biofilms, which are a common cause of infection on implanted catheters and other medical devices and are notoriously resistant to the actions of antibiotics.

这种化学物质也能杀死金黄色葡萄球菌，金黄色葡萄球菌主要导致医疗器械所引起的感染，同时对于抗生素具有很强的抗性。

Earlier this year, the American Society for Microbiology published the genome of vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) in an effort to understand and thwart the mechanisms that enable the bacteria to develop total resistance.

FORBES: Private Physicians Drive Up Antibiotic Resistance, Helped Along By Patients

S. aureus is a small, gold-colored bacteria that is often among the first to out-mutate antibiotics designed to kill it.

FORBES: The Next Antibiotic Buyout?

Like other bacteria, S. aureus mutates at random, and through trial-and-error it will eventually find a way to outsmart any drug.
