چکیده
Human infections involving microorganisms i.e. bacteria, fungi, viruses, cause serious infections in tropical and subtropical countries of the world. In recent years, a multidrug resistance microorganism is on rise due to indiscriminate use of commercial drugs (Gutmann et al., 1988; Mohanasundari et al., 2007). Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram positive cocci arranged in clusters and is ubiquitous in nature. Penicillin was the drug of choice, to which Staphylococcus aureus developed resistance by producing enzyme beta lactamase. So, Methicillin was introduced in 1959. But, resistance to Methicillin emerged rapidly and in 1961 Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) cases were reported (Poonam et al., 2008).
