Alkyl gallates, intensifiers of beta-lactam susceptibility in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
We found that ethyl gallate purified from a dried pod of tara (Caesalpinia spinosa) intensified beta-lactam susceptibility in methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and MSSA strains, respectively). This compound and several known alkyl gallates were tested with MRSA and MSSA strains to gain new insights into their structural functions in relation ...

متن کاملPrevalence of Vancomycin Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
Background & Aims: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common pathogens in nosocomial infections. Vancomycin is the most important therapeutic drug of choice for treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Therefore, vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) or vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) strains are warning...
متن کاملRestoration of Susceptibility of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to -Lactam Antibiotics by Acidic pH
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a global scourge, and treatment options are becoming limited. The MRSA phenotype reverts to that of -lactam-sensitive S. aureus when bacteria are grown at pH 5.0 in broth and, more importantly from a medical perspective (protracted, relapsing infections), after phagocytosis bymacrophages, where the bacteria thrive in the acidic environment o...
متن کاملIsolation, antimicrobial susceptibility and mecA gene analysis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
The objective of this study was to determine the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance among Staphylococcus aureus and to estimate the presence of methicillin-resistance in S. aureus (MRSA) isolates obtained by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. For this purposes, 100 Iranian white and feta cheese samples collected from different suppliers were initially evaluated for the occ...
