claimThe acetone extract of the leaves of Smilax zeylanica and Syzygium praecox shows antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by compromising cellular membranes via ionic and electrostatic interactions.

measurementThe minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range of berberine against diarrhea-associated bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Vibrio cholera, Bacillus cereus, and Escherichia coli, is 12.5–469 µg/ml.

claimAntimicrobial studies have demonstrated that tea tree oil (derived from Melaleuca alternifolia) exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA in both in vitro and human trials.

claimThe use of non-lactam antibiotics for treating Staphylococcus aureus infections has increased due to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
