“…Cuteri et al, (2004) characterized 32 (14.34%) from animals and 53 (63.8%) from men strains of S. aureus and showed resistance to methicillin. Silva et al, (2008) investigated Staphylococcus aureus from apparently healthy cattle in the State of Paraiba, Brazil, in relation to resistance to 21 antimicrobial agents. Among the 46 isolates obtained, resistance to penicillin was most frequent, followed by resistance to streptomycin, tetracycline, erythromycin and kanamycin/neomycin.…”

Key words:MRSA, sheep, goat, pneumointeritis Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics including methicillin, oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin. Our study investigated the occurrence of Staphylococcus aureus in a total of 95 and 86 sheep and goat, respectively from different healthy conditions (apparently healthy, pneumonia, enteritis and pneumoenteritis) using routine bacteriological identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The results showed that S. aureus in sheep was detected in 25, 31.25, 43.3 and 20 %, in apparently healthy, pneumonia, enteritis and pneumoenteritis cases, respectively from nasal swabs and 12.5,20.8, 16.6 and 17.5 %, respectively from fecal swabs. While in goats, S. aureus was detected in 25, 26, 15.3, 14.2 % in apparently healthy, pneumonia, enteritis and pneumoenteritis cases, respectively from nasal swabs and 12.5, 8.3, 11.5, 14.2 %, respectively from fecal swabs. Further, the isolates were studied for their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns using 9 antibiotics commonly used. S. aureus isolated from nasal or fecal swabs of healthy sheep and goat were 100% resistant to Ampicillin, Amoxycillin and Penicillin, while S. aureus isolated from nasal and fecal swabs of sheep with pneumointeritis were 50 % resistant to Methicillin and Oxacillin. All S. aureus isolates were 100 % sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Gentamycin making them the drugs of choice for the treatment of different disease conditions caused by S. aureus in sheep and goat.

“…Likewise, the ethanol extract and essential oil from Myrtus communis (myrtle) presented antibacterial effect against B. subtilis and S. aureus, but not against E. coli (28). Extracts from the peel of Punica granatum fruit (pomegranate) were inhibitory against 38 S. aureus strains (29).…”

Abstract:Plants have been used for thousands of years to flavor and conserve food, to treat health disorders and to prevent diseases including epidemics. The knowledge of their healing properties has been transmitted over the centuries within and among human communities. Active compounds produced during secondary vegetal metabolism are usually responsible for the biological properties of some plant species used throughout the globe for various purposes, including treatment of infectious diseases. Currently, data on the antimicrobial activity of numerous plants, so far considered empirical, have been scientifically confirmed, concomitantly with the increasing number of reports on pathogenic microorganisms resistant to antimicrobials. Products derived from plants may potentially control microbial growth in diverse situations and in the specific case of disease treatment, numerous studies have aimed to describe the chemical composition of these plant antimicrobials and the mechanisms involved in microbial growth inhibition, either separately or associated with conventional antimicrobials. Thus, in the present work, medicinal plants with emphasis on their antimicrobial properties are reviewed.

“…For patients, the antimicrobial resistance increases the morbidity and mortality, whilst for healthcare institutions it means increasing costs (Dancer, 2001;Coutinho et al, 2005). Regarding the increasing clinical importance given to nosocomial and community bacterial infections and the progressive development of antimicrobial resistance, a great number of scientifi c researches emphasizing the antibacterial properties of plant products has been carried out (Hernández et al, 2003;Silva-Santos et al, 2004;Duarte et al, 2005;Gayoso et al, 2005;Michelin et al, 2005;Lima et al, 2006a,b;Santos et al, 2007;Serafi n et al, 2007;Silva et al, 2007;Aguiar et al, 2008;Silva et al, 2008;Salvagnini et al, 2008;Simões et al, 2008). Filtrates, infusions, macerated, juices, extracts and cataplasms from plants with medicinal properties have been applied in the treatment of various diseases since antiquity (Annuk et al, 1999;Hernández et al, 2003).…”

RESUMO: "Atividade anti-estafi locócica in vitro deABSTRACT: This is the fi rst report about the antibacterial activity of Hyptis martiusii Benth. In this study the ethanol extract of H. martiusii was tested for its antimicrobial activity against strains of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The growth of all bacterial strains tested was inhibited by the extract. The diameter of inhibition zones varied from 13 to 20 mm for the extract. The MIC and MBC values ranged from 128 to ≥ 1024mg/mL and 256 to ≥ 1024 mg/mL, respectively. It is therefore suggested that extracts from H. martiusii could be used as an anti-Staphylococcus agent. Compared with methicillin and gentamicin, the extract was more effective, being a promising antibacterial agent.
