Abstract:

Staphylococcus aureus are important factors for infections that acquired of hospital and community. Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus mainly of hospital origin, which in many countries is increasing. For this reason, many researchers have tried to find new compounds as a substitute for these antibiotics. Hypericin is the active substance H.perforatum and licone material from the group of flavonoids that have high antiviral and antibacterial properties. Due to high demand and the Limitation of pastures, H. perforatum cultivated under different fertilizer treatments, and showed that by increasing the amount of fertilizer, the amount of nitrogen and potash hypericin will rise in the fourth level of manures. The about antibacterial effect was conducted the sodden of plants in different dilution and disk diffusion method. Each test was repeated three times, the mean diameter of inhibition zone was measured on Mueller Hinton culture medium. Bacteria in various dilutions have significant effects that the greatest impact on pure dilution and the lowest occurred in a dilution of 0.125 mg.Activity percent effective decoctions of herbs against the MRSA, MSSA and total strains were measured and the most was in MRSA strains.

Comparison of Biofilm Formation between Methicillin-Resistant and Methicillin-Susceptible Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the biofilm formation and the prevalence of biofilm-associated genes between the isolates of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: In total, 209 S. aureus isolates were collected. The antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted using nine antibiotics according to the guidelines of Clinica...

Antibacterial Activity of Rhus javanica against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

In the present study, the leaves of Rhus javanica (R. javanica) were extracted with ethanol, and we investigated the antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract of R. javanica against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Control groups were treated with media containing 0.1% DMSO. The ethanol extract of R. javanica inhibited the growth of MRSA at concentrations ranging from 0.0...

Antibacterial Activity of THAM Trisphenylguanide against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

This study investigated the potential antibacterial activity of three series of compounds synthesized from 12 linear and branched polyamines with 2-8 amino groups, which were substituted to produce the corresponding guanides, biguanides, or phenylguanides, against Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Antibacterial ac...

Antibacterial activity of epigallocatechin gallate against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

The antibacterial activity of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), a catechin, against 53 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was evaluated and expressed as minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). The MIC50 and MIC90 of the strains were found be 64 and 126 micrograms/ml, respectively by the microdilution method. A time-kill study using an isolate showed that EGCg...

Antibacterial Activity of Mulinum spinosum Extracts against Slime-Producing Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Nasal Carriers

Nasal carriers of Staphylococcus aureus are important reservoirs with risk of developing endogenous infections or transmitting infections to susceptible individuals. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are associated with higher rates of treatment failure. Some strains of S. aureus produce slime which is believed to make the microorganisms more resistant to antibiotics and host defenses. The...
