The main ingredients of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) which have antioxidant and antibacterial effect were anthocyanins, and flavonoids. Flavonoid compounds were unstable at high temperatures. Meanwhile, the processing of roselle extract powder into ready-to drink or food preparations generally requires the thermal processes. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of temperature and heating time of roselle extract powder solution on the inhibition of microbial growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The method of this study uses a ready-to- process roselle powder extract sample. The roselle extract powder solution in a screw cap tube was heated at a temperature of 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C on a waterbath, with heating times at each temperature were 15 minutes and 30 minutes. Anti bacterial activity of the sample solution was measured based on the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 by the agar-well diffusion method. The inhibition zone of the sample was measured by caliper. The result of this study showed that inhibition zones caused by the sample that had been heated at those temperature for 15 minutes were 9.55±0.70 mm, 9.53 ±0.04 mm, 9.70±0.14 mm, 9.68±0.24 mm, 10.10±0.14 mm, and 10.25±0.21 mm. Meanwhile, after heating for 30 minutes the inhibition zones were 10.08±0.25 mm, 10.20±0.28 mm, 10.43±0.18 mm, 10.08±0.18 mm, 10.78±0.04 mm, 9.70±0.14 mm. Two ways statistical test ANOVA Randomized Control Block Design with 95% confidence level was used to prove that there was a significant difference berween the mean inhibition zones of each sample. The conclution of this research was, the temperature in the range of 40 -90 oC has no effect on the anti-bacterial activity of the sample. However, the heating time of the sample affected the antibacterial activity of the roselle extract powder solution against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923.

Curcumin, a phytochemical from turmeric, and its derivatives have been extensively investigated from both chemical and biological strategies. However, the main problem encountered while using curcumin in clinical trials is its poor solubility and rapid degradation, resulting in its low levels in tissues, thus decreasing the medicinal effect of curcumin. To overcome these problems several synthetic approaches have been carried out to prepare new derivatives possessing better properties. Curcumin as a β-diketone ligand can act as chelating ligands toward a variety of metals to form stable complexes. Some studies showed that a metal-curcumin complex displayed potential medicinal activities. In this work, a copper(II)-curcumin complex was synthesized in a two-step procedure: (i) curcumin was separated from commercial turmeric powder using chromatography techniques and (ii) the copper(II) chloride (1 eq.) and pure curcumin (2 eq.) were mixed together in ethanol. The mixture was stirred at 60 oC for 3 hours to afford a stoichiometric copper(II)-curcumin complex.  The curcumin ligand and its copper(II) complex were characterized by UV-Vis, IR, NMR spectroscopic methods, from which it was found that copper atoms are coordinated through keto-enol groups of two curcumin molecules. The ground state spectral features of the copper(II)-curcumin complex were consistent with that of the 1:2 copper(II)-curcumin complex. The antibacterial activities of curcumin ligand and its complex were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) using a well diffusion method on nutrient agar. The results showed that the inhibitory activity was not observed for free curcumin at any concentrations while the copper(II)-curcumin complex exhibited the inhibition zones (mm) of 7.8, 11.6 and 14.9 at various concentrations (mg/mL) of 1.0, 5.0 and 15.0, respectively.

The aim: To obtain the first estimates of the current prevalence of nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in the departments of Otorinolaryngology and Dentistry and to determine of genes virulence factors (Panton Valentine Leukocidine (PVL) genes). Materials and methods: We performed a multicenter cross-sectional study. The susceptibility to antibiotics was determined by disk diffusion method according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. The virulence factor encoding genes, mecA, lukS-lukF, were detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Results: Incidence rate of S. aureus nasal carriage among HCWs was 36.2%, whereas MRSA carriage was 17%. Prevalence of MRSA carriage rate was 34.9% in Otorhinolaryngology departments and 9.7% in Dentistry. PCR testing confirmed that all MRSA strains were mecA gene-positive. The virulence factor encoding genes were detected in 82.3% of the S. aureus isolates from HCWs. Among S.aureus, the lukS-lukF genes were detected in over 59% of the strains. The lukS-lukF genes were detected in 55.5% of MRSA and in 58.9% of MSSA strains. LukS-lukF genes were most commonly co-present in MRSA strains. No significant difference was detected between the occurrences of lukS-lukF genes (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Personnell in otorhinolaryngology and dentistry departments have a high rate of nasal colonization of MRSA. This carrier state may be an important risk factor for transmission MRSA from physicians and nurses to patients and vice-versa. Screening for MRSA nasal carriage of HCWs is a key element in enabling infection control measures and early therapeutic decisions.

Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) and medical students can be asymptomatic carriers in transmitting methicillin resistant and susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and MSSA). Studying epidemiological and antibiotic susceptibility data is necessary to limit the spread of infections, help with treatment and understand the transmission dynamics of MSSA and MRSA. Our study assessed the rate of MSSA and MRSA nasal carriage and its antibiogram among medical students in basic and clinical years at the University of Jordan. Methods: A total of 210 nasal swabs were randomly collected from participants. MSSA and MRSA were identified by culture, biochemical and other phenotypical analysis methods. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by the disc diffusion method. Results: The nasal carriage of MSSA was 6.6% and 11.4% and that of MRSA was 1.9% and 2.8% among basic and clinical years, respectively. There was no significant difference for the nasal carriage of MSSA and MRSA among basic and clinical year students (p value ≥ 0.05). MSSA resistance ranged between 25% and 33% for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline and ciprofloxacin. For MRSA, the highest resistance was to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline (67% to 100%), followed by gentamicin and ciprofloxacin (33% to 67%), in all participants in the study. Conclusion: The difference in the carriage rates of MSSA and MRSA among basic and clinical students was statistically insignificant. The continuous awareness and implementation of infection control procedures and guided patient contact are recommended. The results might also suggest that healthcare workers could be victims in the cycle of MRSA nasal carriage, a theory that needs further study.
