Incidence of Constitutive and Inducible Clindamycin Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2011
Without the double-disk test, all the Staphylococcus aureus isolates with inducible clindamycin resistance would have been misclassified as clindamycin susceptible, resulting in an underestimated clindamycin resistance rate.

Curcumin Reverse Methicillin Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

Molecules, 2014
Curcumin, a natural polyphenolic flavonoid extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma longa L., was shown to possess superior potency to resensitize methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to antibiotics. Previous studies have shown the synergistic

Major Families of Multiresistant Plasmids from Geographically and Epidemiologically Diverse Staphylococci [PDF]

, 2011
Staphylococci are increasingly aggressive human pathogens suggesting that active evolution is spreading novel virulence and resistance phenotypes. Large staphylococcal plasmids commonly carry antibiotic resistances and virulence loci, but relatively few ...

Genetics of antibiotic resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains pose a significant threat as common causes of bac­terial infections in hospitals, often resistant to available antibiotics such as daptomycin, vancomycin, and linezolid.
