Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus, especially its methicillin-resistant strain, which has become a significant health concern during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Researchers aimed to assess the antibacterial effects of Lagerstreomia speciosa, a medicinal plant, against S. aureus and explore the potential of its compound, corosolic acid, to enhance the effectiveness of cefotaxime, a common antibiotic.
- Results demonstrated that corosolic acid and L. speciosa extracts showed antibacterial activity against various strains of S. aureus, with corosolic acid enhancing cefotaxime's action, particularly noted for its synergistic effects and improved bactericidal activity in combination treatments.
