ABSTRACT

 

Abdulmajeed Al-khawaja NQ, Thannoon Al-Bayati HB, Naqi MT, Mehdi SS, Hussein Alshami ZM, Abdulameer IS., Mohammed LM., Effect of  Cocos nucifera husk on resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in volunteers, Onl J Vet Res., 28 (12): 817-821, 2024. Antibacterial activity of husk of Cocos nucifera Linn alcoholic extract against Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) was isolated from 9 volunteers and verified by VITEK. However, 3 volunteers samples were deemed to be non-MRSA. Fibrous husks of Cocos nucifera were powered extracted in 70% ethanol. For comparison with extract, antibiotic disks were spread on agar for Gentamicine, Tetracycline, Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone, Ampicilin, Oxacilin, Chloramphenicol, Clavulanate and Amoxicillin (AMX) minimum inhibitory concentrations. We found extract exhibited effective MIC and MBC values at 100 and 50 mg/ml for all discs.

 

Keywords: Antibiotics, Cocos nucifera, resistant S. aureus.
