Making a meal of MRSA-the role of biosurgery in hospital-acquired infection.

W D Beasley1, G Hirst.   

Abstract

Fly larvae have been used by many different cultures for treating wounds throughout history. Recently, their therapeutic actions have been scientifically defined. This article reviews the history of biosurgery and the most recent research, which demonstrates the therapeutic action of larvae and particularly their anti-MRSA properties.
