A recent study conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center focused on what occurs to a person's immune system during a severe staph infection. By focusing on a snapshot in time during severe infection, researchers hope such information will help them formulate more effective treatments for staph infections, including MRSA, in the future. The study revealed what genes turn on and off in a person's immune system. The research team plans to study other conditions surrounding the periods before, during and after infection and how different staph-infection therapies affect treatment.
