Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrevalence and Antibiotic-Sensitivity of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Pyogenic Skin Affections of Animals and HumanMaha I. Hamed, Sylvia O. Ahmed, Doaa S. Sayed, Hossam-Elden M. HassanMRSA infections commonly present as skin and soft tissue infections in man and animals. Treatment usually includes opening of abscess and drainage with or without antibiotic therapy. MRSA is usually resistant to certain antibiotics including methicillin, oxacillin, penicillin and ampicillin. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of MRSA in man and animals with suppurative … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2019 · 7,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePterostilbene Enhanced Anti-Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Activity of OxacillinSiti Fairuz Ishak, Ahmad Rohi Ghazali, Noraziah Mohamad Zin, Dayang Fredalina BasriMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a deadly pathogen that initially was limited to hospital and healthcare facilities but has gradually became a growing problem in healthy children and adults. Pterostilbene belongs to the phenylpropanoid phytoalexin which is involved in plant response to various pathogen and herbivores attack. The aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-MRSA action of pterostilbene … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2016 · 8,332 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntimicrobial Dressing for Diabetic Foot Ulcer Colonized with MRSAParthasarathy Ravichandran, Sai Prasad ChittiWound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcer differs among people. The wound healing process was influenced by factors like nature of the wound, tissue and an immunity of a person. Any measure taken to control bacterial colonies in wound plays a significant role in wound healing. However, recent emergence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) associated with chronic wounds created … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 17 Nov 2015 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleResearch Note: Predicting MRSA Colonization of the Hospitalized Patient on AdmissionRocco J. Perla, Gail E. Cormier, Eric L. Knutson et al.The primary aim of this brief and exploratory study was to examine the ability of two Infection Control Practitioners in a medium size community hospital to effectively predict the MRSA colonization status of patients on admission compared to a standard MRSA screen in real time using only their clinical judgment and review of selected hospital documents. Sensitivity and specificity results … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,316 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessEvery word in the titleStaphylococcus aureus Vaccine Candidate from MRSA Isolates: The Prospect of a Multivalent VaccineNovra Arya Sandi, Tenri Ashari Wanahari, Isabel MacPhillamy et al.Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause various infections in humans and animals throughout the world. The increasing incidence of S. aureus infection, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is complicated by the antibiotic-resistance phenomenon. Thus, it requires new strategies to prevent wider scale of its incidence occurring. Preventative methods against infectious diseases through vaccination can prevent, control and reduce … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 27 Aug 2015 · 8,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin Resistant Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) in Clinical SettingsM.A. Shorman, A.M. Atoom, N.M. Abuharfeil, A.M. Al-MajaliTo evaluate different methods for the identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococci and their reliability, 112 Staphylococcal isolates (32 Staphylococcus aureus isolates and 80 coagulase negative Staphylococci isolates "CoNS") were collected from 118 nasal swab cultures and were subjected to three methods to detect oxacillin susceptibility of the isolates. The three methods were oxacillin disk diffusion method; the Epsilometer- test (E-test) and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,972 accessesView PDFCite
