Scientists use discarded tonsils to unlock secrets of deadly staph infections
NCT ID NCT06479837
Summary
This study aims to understand how staph bacteria cause serious infections, particularly in the spine, which can lead to paralysis. Researchers will use tonsil tissue that would normally be thrown away after routine tonsil removal surgeries. By studying how the bacteria interact with human cells in lab-grown models, they hope to discover better ways to treat these dangerous infections in the future.
