<p>Meluasnya penyebaran <em>Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus</em> (MRSA) yang kebal terhadap antibiotik β-laktam membuat penelitian untuk menemukan senyawa aktif memiliki potensi sebagai antibakteri MRSA menjadi penting. Salah satu dapat dilakukan adalah studi penambatan molekul. Studi molekul telah menggunakan bahan alam dari minyak kayu manis dan serai dapur denga...

Staphylococcal infection is of major importance in both Human and Animals. Some staphylococcal bacteria are Methicillin-resistant. This paper reviews the current information on Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in dogs and cats. Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram positive, non-spore forming coccus. It may be found singly, in pairs, in short chains, or in irregular clusters. The co...

BACKGROUND The development of new drugs or alternative therapies effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is of great importance, and various natural anti-MRSA products are good candidates for combination therapies. We evaluated the antibacterial activities of a Phellinus baumii ethyl acetate extract (PBEAE) and its synergistic effects with β-lactams against MRSA. ...

BACKGROUND A microorganism is a complex biological system able to preserve its functional features against external perturbations and the ability of the living systems to oppose to these external perturbations is defined "robustness". The antibiotic resistance, developed by different bacteria strains, is a clear example of robustness and of ability of the bacterial system to acquire a particula...

Background: Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has been known for just over 50 years, and it poses a serious problem for infection prevention and control and antibiotic treatment globally. In MRSA, resistance against almost all beta-lactam compounds in clinical use is caused by the expression of an alternate penicillinbinding protein (PBP2a) that is encoded by the mecA gene. Objective: The ...
