Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnhanced Antibacterial Activity of Blended Essential Oils against Staphylococcus Aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus AureusMin-Gi Kwon, Ji-Hyuk Kang, Jae Kyung KimWe aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effects of four blended and four single essential oils on the gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing was performed using disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute criteria. The blended essential oils exhibited more powerful antibacterial activity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 16 Apr 2026 · 1,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInhibition 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrevalence of Heterogeneous Glycopeptide Intermediate Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiMultidrug resistant Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections and is on the rise. The aim of this investigation was to explore the prevalence of MRSA and heterogeneous Glycopeptide Intermediate Staphylococcus Aureus (hGISA) in various clinical samples, to investigate the various antibiotic resistant determinant genes among these strains collected from north and west … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntibiotic Resistance of Community and Hospital Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Clinical SpecimensAza Bahadeen Taha, Sabria M. Said Al-SalihiProblem statement: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is responsible for an increasing number of serious hospital and community acquired infections. Increased emergence in MRSA resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem. Approach: The resistance of MRSA to 20 antibiotics agents were studied. Also comparison of antibiotics resistance of community and hospital acquired MRSA were performed. Meanwhile the profile of antibiotics resistance … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 7,876 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
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci (MRS) and Salmonella spp. in Consumer Egg SamplesAna Claudia Lemes Pavan, Rafaella da Silva, Vanessa Kelly Capoia Vignoto et al.Despite the excellent nutritional value, the egg can be an important vehicle for bacterial infections carried by food, among them, multiresistant Staphylococci and salmonellosis. The objective of this work was to detect the presence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus spp. (MRS) and Salmonella spp. Forty dozen eggs were obtained from three free-trade fairs in the Umuarama-PR; every dozen eggs comprised a sample. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 21 Aug 2020 · 6,529 accessesView PDFCite
