Synergistic interaction between Chlorella vulgaris extract and Origanum elongatum essential oil against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

The massive emergence of antimicrobial resistance in recent decades has rendered the use of a single-agent strategy ineffective. Consequently, the combination of different therapeutic agents has emerged as a promising new approach. The aim of the present study was to investigate the combined effect of Chlorella vulgaris methanol extract (CVME) and Origanum elongatum essential oil (OEEO) on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Prevalence, serotype distribution, and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella isolated from food products in Morocco.

Introduction: Salmonellosis is one of the most common foodborne diseases worldwide. The irrational use of antibiotics in medicine and in animal feed has greatly promoted the emergence and spread of resistant strains of non-typhoidal Salmonella.

Methodology: A total of 464 food products were collected in Tetouan from January 2010 to December 2012.
