Bactericidal activity of skin disinfectants on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
We studied bactericidal activity of 10% povidone-iodine, 0.5% chlorhexidine gluconate, and 0.5% chlorhexidine in 80% ethanol on four strains of methicillin-resistant and two strains of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. The pathogen was exposed to each of the disinfectants for 15, 30, 60, 120, and 240 s at room temperature. The inocula from these suspensions were cultured 72 h at 37...
متن کاملBactericidal activity of antiseptics against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Various commonly used antiseptics were tested against three strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at stock strength and in serial 10-fold dilutions. The stock solutions of 4% chlorhexidine gluconate-alcohol (Hibiclens), 1% p-chloro-m-xylenol (Acute-Kare), and 3% hexachlorophene (Phisohex) produced 2-log reductions of MRSA after a 15-s exposure, but even after 240 s, thes...
متن کاملLevofloxacin: serum bactericidal activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates.
The aim of this study was to assess the serum bactericidal activity (SBA) of levofloxacin compared with that of ofloxacin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates. Serum from 10 healthy volunteers (seven females, three males) was collected after a single oral dose of either levofloxacin (500 mg) or ofloxacin (400 mg). Subjects were allocated randomly to treatment afte...
متن کاملBactericidal antibiotic-phytochemical combinations against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is a global concern nowadays. Due to its multi-drug resistant nature, treatment with conventional antibiotics does not assure desired clinical outcomes. Therefore, there is a need to find new compounds and/or alternative methods to get arsenal against the pathogen. Combination therapies using conventional antibiotics and phytochemical...
متن کاملbactericidal and antibiotic synergistic effect of nanosilver against methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus
conclusions silver nanoparticles have high therapeutic activity against mrsa, thus can be suggested as an alternative or adjuvant with antibiotics for mrsa treatment. further studies are required to understand the synergistic effect of ag-nps combinations and to assess the safety and efficacy of new antibiotic-ag-nps combinations. background methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) ar...
