Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase 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 accessPhrase 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 accessPhrase 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 accessPhrase 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 accessPhrase 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 accessPhrase in the title2-D Gel Electrophoresis Map of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Treated with Quercus Infectoria Gall ExtractDayang Fredalina Basri, Lee Seng Aik, Radhiah Khairon, Mariati Abdul RahmanThe widespread outbreak of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) has caused clinical and epidemiological concern in hospital environment. The emergence of Vancomycin-Intermediate S. Aureus (VISA) and, more recently, Vancomycin-Resistant S. Aureus (VRSA) has further alarmed clinician and scientist worlwide. The objective of this study is to determine the optimum concentration of sample protein from MRSA after treatment with acetone extract from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
