Effect of antibiotic resistance on the survival of Staphylococcus aureus.

چکیده

The survival of strains of Staphylococcus aureus on glass at 30 degrees C, 37 degrees C, and room temperature was compared with derivatives of them that had either lost or gained naturally occurring antibiotic resistance. In other properties the sets of strains were identical. Neither loss nor gain of antibiotic resistance (methicillin, penicillinase, streptomycin, tetracycline, erythromycin, neomycin) altered survival.

Evaluating the Potentiating Effect of Galbanic acid from Ferula szowitsiana on three common antibiotics against resistant hospital isolates of Staphylococcus aureus

The plant kingdom constitutes a source of new chemical compounds, which may be important due to their potential uses in medicine, or their other biological properties. In this study, the effects of Galbanic acid (GA), a sesquiterpene coumarin from roots of Ferula szowitsiana, were investigated as a modulator of antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus. Isolates of S. ...
