A collection of strains of Staphylococcus aureus was studied with a view to finding out what relationship, if any, could be detected between the agglutinative grouping and the production of polysaccharide, alpha hemolysin, or leucocidin by the various strains. A number of serological groupings for staphylococci have been described in the literature, the most recent ones being those of Blair and...

methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) is a major cause of nosocomial infections all around the world. mrsas are usually present in health care centers and hospitals. nowadays methicillin-resistant mrsas in two groups of healthcare associated mrsa (ha_mrsa) and community associated mrsa (ca_mrsa)were studied. predisposing factors for ha_mrsa infections included hemodialysis, surgery...

INTRODUCTION Strains of Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing Staphylococcus aureus producing a new pattern of disease have emerged worldwide. Infection with these bacteria typically presents as a life-threatening infection of soft tissues and bones, and may cause potentially devastating consequences. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of osteoarticular infection caused by Panton-Valentine le...

conclusions the cefoxitin disk diffusion method showed the best results when compared to oxacillin disk, similar to results from detecting the meca gene in pcr as a golden test. studies on mrsa that carry the luk-pv gene should continue to provide significant insight into the prevalence and epidemiology of these important resistant pathogens. also, the rate of pvl gene-producing isolates showed...

Raphanus sativus L., a small-sized red radish, is an important root vegetable crop found worldwide and is commonly used in salads. The objective of this study was to measure the total phenolic and flavonoid content as well as to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of Raphanus sativus L. cv. Cherry Belle and Raphanus sativus L. cv. Valentine. The total phenolic content and t...
