Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEvaluation of Different Drugs in Down-Regulation of Efflux Pump Genes expression in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus StrainsManu Chaudhary, Santosh Kumar Patnaik, Anurag PayasiAntimicrobial resistance caused by efflux systems is not widely studied in Staphylococcus aureus. In the present study, prevalence of NorA and NorB efflux pumps was studied in thirteen Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains using a pair of primers with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Antibiotic susceptibility study in NorA and NorB efflux positive isolates was carried out according to the Clinical … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,451 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesInhibition of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin Toxin Induced Neutrophil Cell Lysis by Vancoplus in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus InfectionsManu Chaudhary, Santosh Kumar Patnaik, Anurag PayasiPantone Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) is a cytotoxin associated with virulence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This study was undertaken to analyze the prevalence of PVL among MRSA strains and to study the effect of adjuvants (L-lysine, L-arginine, Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) as well as drugs on PVL induced neutrophil cell lysis. Further, in vitro activity of Vancoplus, vancomycin, linezolid, teicoplanin … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2014 · 7,106 accessesView PDF Cite
