In vitro activity of sodium-benzoate against isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
BACKGROUND Worldwide, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) rates have increased dramatically during the last decades. Sodium benzoate (SB) is a chemical substance that is used for preparing food and drinks and in the treatment of some metabolic (urea cycle disorders and hepatic coma) diseases. No studies were found which focussed on the effects of SB in MRSA infections. The aim wa...
متن کاملIn-vitro and In-vivo Evaluation of Silymarin Nanoliposomes against Isolated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen and remains a common cause of burn wound infections. Different studies have shown that entrapment of plant-derived compounds into liposomes could increase their anti-Staphylococcus aureus activity. Silymarin is the bioactive extract from the known plant Silybum marianum L. The objective of this study was to evaluate efficacy of silymarin in fre...
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 کاملIn vitro activity of arbekacin against clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a hospital.
dideoxykanamycin B] , a semisynthetic aminoglycosidic antibiotic has recently become into clinical use, and its efficacy has been reported7~9). This led us to re-evaluate the in vitro activity of the ABK against MRSA isolates together with other chemotherapeutic agents in current use for comparison, as the ABKis now considered to be one of the few drugs effective for the treatment of patients w...
متن کامل[In vitro activity of linezolid against clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus].
In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive microorganisms, making necessary the search for alternative antibacterial agents. Linezolid is a new synthetic antimicrobial agent with activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive cocci. The objective of this study was to determine the in vitro activity of linezolid...
