Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most common bacteria causing nosocomial infections with high levels of resistance to available antibiotics. So, it is necessary to search for new compounds to solve this problem. Various studies showed antibacterial activity of rambutan peel but for Rambutan Binjai peel extract that are from Indonesia has never been studied against the MRSA. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity, the value of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) using agar diffusion method. The concentration of rambutan peel ethanol extract at as much as 62.5 mg/ml showed the inhibitory diameter i.e 21.3 ± 2.4 mm. MIC and MBC were in the same range, which was between 0.98 (mg/ml) to 1.95 (mg/ml). The activity strength of tetracycline against the extract was at 1:50. This revealed that Rambutan Binjai peel extract had great potency as antibacterial agent to MRSA. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 17(2): 197-203, 2018 (December)

Background:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has gained significant health solicitude globallydue to its resistance to nearly almost antimicrobial agents, and garlic is one of nature's most powerful antibiotics that must be used as a pharmaceutical regimen. The current study aimed to determine the In-Vitro antibacterial efficacy of crude garlic extract against MRSA. Methods: The aqueous and 70% ethanol crude garlic (Alllium sativum)extract was prepared. Disc diffusion method was performed to assess the antimicrobial activity for100 clinical isolates of MRSA collected,The reference standard strain was Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). Results: All MRSA strains assessed were significantly sensitive to 70% ethanolic extract at various concentrations range from 200 to 25%, exhibited inhibitory effects against clinical isolates and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) with the means of inhibition zones ranging from 17.76- 14.35 mm and 15-13 mm in length, while the aqueous extracts were less in both clinical isolates and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) ranging from 11.93-8.62 mm and 11-8 mm respectively, methanol and distilled water were not effected on growth. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that 70%ethanol extract of crude Allium sativum has significantly inhibitory effect on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is better than aqueous extract. This study does not undermine the value of antibiotic use, but instead the probability of using them in low dosage to minimize their negative consequences.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important human pathogen that causes various infections. The increasing resistance of MRSA to different antibiotics is widely spreading; therefore, plant extracts may be novel therapeutic alternatives. The phytochemical profiling of Cupressus macrocarpa Hartw. ex Gordon leaves in vitro, and in vivo, antimicrobial potential of its extracts against MRSA clinical isolates were explored. A phytochemical tentative identification of 49 compounds was performed in the leaves using LC-ESI-MS/MS; in addition, isolation, and structure elucidation of hesperidin and eriocitrin were achieved for the first time. The diethyl ether extract (DEEL) exhibited the best antibacterial effect with MIC values ranging from 2 to 8 µg/mL, which significantly reduced the growth and efflux activity in 48.78% and 29.26% of isolates, respectively. qRT-PCR showed a significant down expression of norA and norB genes, which significantly affected the bacterial cell morphology and had a non-significant effect on membrane depolarization (using flow cytometry). In a rat model, four groups were wounded and treated with normal saline or DEEL, or infected with MRSA, or infected and treated with DEEL. The regeneration of the epidermis, maturation of granulation tissue, and reduction of inflammatory cell infiltration were observed after treatment with DEEL. Thus, C. macrocarpa leaves may be a promising source for new antimicrobials against MRSA.

Objective: Infection with antibiotic-resistant organisms, requiring the selection of the right drug to fight these organisms. Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves as natural ingredients have MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) antibacterial activity. The purpose of this study is to identify the chemical compounds and to determine the antibacterial activity from the 96% ethanol extract of Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves against MRSA bacteria. Methods: The Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves were extracted by maceration using 96% (v/v) ethanol. Mass spectrometry was performed on an LC-MS/MS Xevo, G2-XS QTof (Waters MS Technologies) to identified chemical compounds from the extract. The ionization type is ESI.

Lung endothelial dysfunction is a key feature of acute lung injury (ALI) and clinical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Previous studies have identified the lipid-generating enzyme, group V phospholipase A2 (gVPLA2), as a mediator of lung endothelial barrier disruption and inflammation. The current study aimed to determine the role of gVPLA2 in mediating lung endothelial responses to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, USA300 strain), a major cause of ALI/ARDS. In vitro studies assessed the effects of gVPLA2 inhibition on lung endothelial cell (EC) permeability after exposure to heat-killed (HK) MRSA. In vivo studies assessed the effects of intratracheal live or HK-MRSA on multiple indices of ALI in wild-type (WT) and gVPLA2-deficient (KO) mice. In vitro, HK-MRSA increased gVPLA2 expression and permeability in human lung EC. Inhibition of gVPLA2 with either the PLA2 inhibitor, LY311727, or with a specific monoclonal antibody, attenuated the barrier disruption caused by HK-MRSA. LY311727 also reduced HK-MRSA-induced permeability in mouse lung EC isolated from WT but not gVPLA2-KO mice. In vivo, live MRSA caused significantly less ALI in gVPLA2 KO mice compared to WT, findings confirmed by intravital microscopy assessment in HK-MRSA-treated mice. After targeted delivery of gVPLA2 plasmid to lung endothelium using ACE antibody-conjugated liposomes, MRSA-induced ALI was significantly increased in gVPLA2-KO mice, indicating that lung endothelial expression of gVPLA2 is critical in vivo. In summary, these results demonstrate an important role for gVPLA2 in mediating MRSA-induced lung EC permeability and ALI. Thus, gVPLA2 may represent a novel therapeutic target in ALI/ARDS caused by bacterial infection.
