MRSA is a type of bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics commonly used to treat staph infections. This makes MRSA infections more difficult to treat and can result in serious health consequences.Scientists at the University of Galway have uncovered a way to enhance the effectiveness of penicillin-type antibiotics against MRSA, a dangerous superbug. Their findings have the potential to improve MRSA treatment options as penicillin-type antibiotics are currently ineffective on their own.
The photographs show MRSA growing on the surfaces of two agar plates, one without guanosine and one with guanosine onto which disks soaked with antibiotics have been applied. The zones of clearing around the antibiotic disks are indicative of MRSA killing.

The discussion noted the drugs derived from purines are already used to treat some viral infections and cancers.
