The aim of this study was to see the antimicrobial activities of oxytetracycline to the inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm of Aceh’s cattle preputium isolates. The parameters measured in this study were the percentage of antimicrobial and biofilm inhibitory power. The antimicrobial activities were tested on Nutrient Broth using U-bottom polystyrene microplate 96 wells. The Biofilm stained using 1% of crystalviolet. Then, Optical Density (OD) read at λ 595 nm. The results showed that the oxytetracycline of 10%, 20% and 30% (μg / μL) had the antimicrobial abilities of 28.60% ± 13.23%; 36.30% ± 5.37%; and 57.70% ± 2.23%. In addition, The biofilm inhibitory capacity of oxytetracycline 10%, 20% and 30% (μg / μL) were 2.20% ± 8.77%; 2.70% ± 4.17%; and 3.73% ± 14.14%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the oxytetracycline  had the ability to inhibit the biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus.

This research aims to identify the Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria from preputium and vagina of horses. Five swabs preputium and 5 swabs vagina samples from 3-9 years olds horse in the village of Bebangka, Gelelungi, Reloop, and Kelapeng, Pegasing Aceh Tengah District were used in this study. Preputium and vagina swabs of horses were dipped into reaction tube containing Nutrient Broth (NB). Staphylococcus aureus was identified on manitol salt agar (MSA). Separated colony colored bright yellow on the media were tested for Gram staining, hemolysis, catalase, and sugar test (glucose and manitol). The result showed that the isolates growth on MSA were colored bright yellow, Gram positive, β hemolisis, and catalase positive. The isolates fermented manitol and glucose. Isolates identified from horses preputium and vagina showed the characteristic of S. aureus. In conclusion S. aureus bacteria were positively identified from all of swabs samples, both in preputium and vagina of horses.Key words: Staphylococcus aureus, horse, preputium, vagina

The present work was aimed to illustrate how the use of Diode laser or silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) each of them individually, as an antibacterial agent against  Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as well as study the effective result from the absorption of laser energy by these nanoparticles to kill or inhibition bacterial growth. The silver nanoparticles are prepared by biological method. S. aureus are isolated and identified in the Central Health Laboratory in Al Najaf city. Nanoparticles are tested against S. aureus cultured on Muller Hinton agar but Diode laser or laser with nanoparticles are tested against S. aureus cultured in Nutrient broth. S. aureus are irradiating by Diode laser with different irradiation times, moreover there are different concentrations of AgNPs have been employed for killing and inhibition bacterial growth. Results showed that S. aureus is affected by AgNPs (mainly highest concentration of nanoparticles) also detected that decrease bacterial availability with increase time of irradiation to laser.

Abstract A simple turbidimetric method has been developed for determining the degree of phenol resistance of cultures used for disinfectant testing. Net transmission values are used to assess t h e degree of resistance; these are based on t h e measurement of the total amount of light scattered by the bacterial growth i n the AOAC broth medium without interfering turbidity of the dissolved ingredients. A decrease in the net transmission value corresponds to a decrease in phenol resistance; the converse is also true . The transmission values obtained in a 10 month study of a total of 77 weekly r and om samples of AOAC nutrient broth media blanks showed no substantial differences among the broth media tested by the turbidimetric method. Net transmission values were obtained for 71 broth cultures of Salmonella choleraesuis, 74 of Staphylococcus aureus, and 78 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa having the same required resistance against phenol. These values, which fell within a wider range than would be expected, are given. The effect of the number of 10-carrier-soakings on the net transmission value and equivalent phenol resistance of the cultures was determined for 60 broth cultures of the 3 test organisms named above. Soaking wet cylinder carriers in a given volume of test cultures used for the AOAC use-dilution test directly reduced the net transmission value and equivalently decreased the phenol resistance of the cultures. The turbidimetric method has proven experimentally satisfactory i n several hundred determinations and in selecting test cultures of uniform quality for disinfectant testing.

Growth of three strains of Staphylococcus aureus and two strains of Escherichia coli on nutrient agar (NA) supplemented with ethanol and NaCl was investigated. S. aureus did not grow on NA containing ≧10% ethanol (wt/wt) combined with ≧0% NaCl (wt/wt), or 7.5% ethanol combined with 7.5% NaCl. Neither E. coli nor E. coli O157:H7 grew on NA containing ≧7.5% ethanol combined with ≧0% NaCl, 5% ethanol combined with ≧2.5% NaCl, or ≧5% NaCl combined with ≧0% ethanol. It is apparent that NaCl enhanced the inhibitory effect of ethanol on growth of S. aureus and E. coli. When cells were suspended in nutrient broth containing 12.5, 20, or 40% ethanol combined with NaCl, viable cells decreased with an increase of ethanol concentration. Ethanol sensitivity among strains and between genera varied in a limited range. When the cells were exposed to 20% ethanol in combination with 5% NaCl, S. aureus and E. coli lost viability after 30 and 10 min, respectively. When treated with 40% ethanol combined with ≧0% NaCl, all test strains lost viability within 5 min.

Aim of the study. To study the presence of antibacterial properties in silver oxides with different oxygen content in relation to sensitive and methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. Material and Methods. Films of silver and its oxides were coated on paper surface in vacuum via the method of ion-plasma arc sputtering of the metallic target. Antibacterial activity of the obtained samples of silver oxides and pure silver against Staphylococcus aureus АТСС 29213 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 was studied applying the diff usion method as well as in liquid nutrient broth with consequent measuring of optical density. Results. As a result of antibacterial activity investigation of the samples obtained via the diff usion method and liquid nutrient broth, it was revealed that all samples possessed antibacterial activity in relation to type strains of S. aureus. Th erewith, the effi cacy of the samples with pure silver was signifi cantly lower than that of silver oxides (Ag0,2O, Ag0,4O, Ag1O, Ag1,5O, Ag2O). It was shown that the activity of silver oxides did not depend on the oxygen concentration in them. Thus, statistically signifi cant diff erences in optical density of the nutrient medium with bacteria and the medium with incubated S. aureus АТСС 29213 (MSSA) and AgxO (р<0.001). Analogical results were obtained aft er studying of infl uence exerted by silver on S. aureus АТСС 43300 (MRSA). Conclusion. All silver oxides samples created were characterised by antibacterial activity against S. aureus. The data obtained point at the prospects in application of silver oxide with low oxygen content for prevention and treatment of Staphylococcus aureus strains infection.
