Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract
STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS is one of the most versatile human pathogens. In the late 1930s, sulfonamides offered the first challenge to S. aureus, but they failed because of their poor clinical performance in the presence of pus and the acquisition of resistance by the bacteria.1 In the early 1940s the introduction of benzylpenicillin (penicillin G) temporarily solved the problem of staphylococcal infections, but the continued use of this agent caused the selection of resistant strains, which produced penicillinase (β-lactamase). By 1948 the prevalence of resistant strains had seriously reduced the value of benzylpenicillin.2 By the end of the 1950s, S. . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
