Abstract
The study investigates the antibacterial potential of hydroalcoholic extracts from Rosmarinus officinalis and Zataria multiflora, combined with ciprofloxacin, against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Initial screening showed promising results, leading to further exploration of the synergistic effect of the extracts and ciprofloxacin. The combination of the two extracts had an additive effect, while the combination of each extract with ciprofloxacin resulted in partial synergism. The most significant synergistic effect was observed against MRSA 9, with a 3200-fold reduction in the MIC value of ciprofloxacin. The similar inhibitory concentration of the extracts for all MRSA strains suggests these non-antibiotic agents have a broad spectrum of activity against MRSA. This offers a promising avenue for developing new therapeutic approaches to tackle drug-resistant bacterial infections. The results highlight the potential of combining R. officinalis and Z. multiflora extracts with ciprofloxacin to enhance antibacterial efficacy against MRSA strains.
期刊介绍：
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
