Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates were classified into three mupirocin susceptibility groups by the disc diffusion method using 5 and 200 μg mupirocin discs. The zone diameter observed for a 5 μg disc distinguished MupS from the resistant strains (either MupRL or MupRH). On the other hand, a 200 μg disc distinguished the high-resistance MupRH strains from the other two (MupS or MupRL). Thus, the concomitant use of 5 and 200 μg mupirocin discs allowed the clear distinction among the three mupirocin susceptibility groups, MupS, MupRL or MupRH.

Surface swabs of the table eggs were carried out using sterile swab sticks. These were inoculated on Mannitol Salt Agar and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The isolates obtained were morphologically and biochemically characterized. 62% of the isolates obtained were identified as Staphylococcus aureus. 0.5 McFarland standard of each Staphylococcus aureus isolate was subjected to antibiotic susceptibility test on Muller Hinton Agar using the disc diffusion method. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by observing and measuring clear zones in millimetres. The antibiogram pattern of Staphylococcus aureus on the surface of table eggs from Ezrad farms located in Iwo, Osun State was investigated. Staphylococcus aureus isolates were 100% resistant to Augmentin and Cloxacillin while resistance to Ceftazidime, Erythromycin, Gentamycin, Ofloxacin, Cefuroxime and Ceftriaxone were at 96%, 89%, 86%, 82%, 75% and 57% respectively. This study shows high resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from eggshells to antibiotics which could pose a serious health problem.

This study aims to determine the activity of marine pandanus extract(Pandanus odorifer) as cytotoxic and antibacterial to Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This research begins with phytochemical test conducted to find out the secondary metabolite compounds contained in the leaves of P. odorifer. Cytotoxic testing was performed using BSLT method. An antibacterial test was performed against the activity in inhibiting the growth of S. aureus bacteria using a modified disc diffusion method. The results of phytochemical tests showed that ethanol extract of pandanus leaves contain saponin, flavonoids, tannin and terpenoid compounds. The results of cytotoxic test of sea pandan have a very strong toxic level with LC50 value of 4.3557 ppm.The result of measurement of the highest inhibiting zone diameter was obtained at the concentration of 5x104 ppm is 6 mm with the power of inhibitory that is medium. Based on the results of this study can be concluded that the leaves of sea pandan are cytotoxic and have activity as antibacterial

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization is considered a major risk factor for nosocomial infections and its decolonization has reduced these infections. Mupirocin (MUP) is the topical antibiotic of choice for decolonization. MUP decolonization failure is attributed to MUP resistance. Objective: The aim of the current study is to assess MUP resistance among MRSA isolates phenotypically and genotypically. Methodology: Fifty MRSA isolates were identified in Microbiology Department in the Medical Research Institute hospital, Alexandria University. Antibiotic susceptibility to different classes of antibiotics by disk diffusion method was done. MUP minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined phenotypically by MUP Ezy MIC™ Strips. MUP resistance was determined genetically by multiplex PCR detection of mupA and mupB. Results: Of all MRSA isolates, 6% exhibited high level and none showed low level MUP resistance. Only mupA was detected in all resistant isolates. Conclusion: Despite low prevalence of MUP resistance, it is appropriate to test MUP resistance prior nasal decolonization

AbstractMarine sponges are known for their antimicrobial, antifungal, and cytotoxic activity. In this study, the activity of aqueous and ethanoic extracts of 3 sponges from Martinique were tested on 5 bacterial strains: Bascillus cereus (CIP 783), Echerichia coli (CIP 54127), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CIP A22), Staphylococcus aureus (CIP 67.8) and Staphylococcus saprophyticus (CIP 76125). The antimicrobial activity of Agelas clathrodes, Desmapsamma anchorata, and Verongula rigida, was demonstrated using the disc diffusion method and by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration and the minimum bactericidal concentration. The ethanoic extract of Agelas clathrodes had an inhibitory activity specifically on Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. No activity was observed for the other extracts. Further chemical analyses will be carried out in order to identify the active molecules of these sponges.

Chitosan Schiff Base

The development of compounds with a better antibacterial activity is highly needed. One way to achieve this is by modifying the structure of the compound using chitosan as a starting material, because of its abundant natural source in Indonesia, its biodegradable properties, and its structure where free amines are present. This study aims to obtain  Mn(II) -Carboxymethyl Chitosan Schiff Base-Salicylaldehyde complex to increase its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram negative). Schiff Base carboxymethyl chitosan-salicylaldehyde was synthesized from carboxymethyl chitosan with salicylaldehyde. Next, the Schiff Base Carboxymethyl Chitosan-Salicylaldehyde was complexed with MnCl2.4H2O and then characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, and AAS and tested for antibacterial activity with the disc diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The product of Carboxymethyl Chitosan Schiff Base-salicylaldehyde is a brownish yellow solid with a yield of 64% (w/w) and has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (clear zone diameter 11 mm) and Escherichia coli (clear zone diameter 13 mm). The product of Mn(II) Complexes-Carboxymethyl Chitosan Schiff Base-salicylaldehyde is a black solid with a yield of 59% (w/w) and has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (clear zone diameter 13 mm) and Escherichia coli (clear zone diameter 17 mm).
