For the systematic SAR study on mansonone F, a series of C6 and C9 analogs of mansonone F have been synthesized and their anti-MRSA activities were evaluated. Most of the analogs exhibited good or excellent anti-MRSA activities. In particular, the 6-n-butylmansonone F showed fourfold higher antibacterial activities compared to that of vancomycin.

Methyl gallate (MG), a natural phenolic compound, exhibits in vitro synergistic activity with amoxicillin (Amox) against methicillin-resistant (MRSA), a global health concern. This study developed electrospun nanofibers incorporating MG and Amox into a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/chitosan (CS) blend to target both methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) and MRSA. The formulation was optimized, and the impact of acetic acid on antibacterial activity was evaluated using agar disc diffusion.

Background: Vancomycin has been the preferred treatment for MRSA infections. However, newer drugs are necessary due to the increasing prevalence of MRSA isolates that are less susceptible to vancomycin. Levonadifloxacin and its prodrug alalevonadifloxacin, novel quinolones with broad spectrum anti-MRSA activity.

Introduction: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) present a promising avenue to combat the growing threat of antibiotic resistance. The ruminant gastrointestinal microbiome serves as a unique ecosystem that offers untapped potential for AMP discovery.
Objectives: The aims of this study are to develop an effective methodology for the identification of novel AMPs from ruminant gastrointestinal microbiomes, followed by evaluating their antimicrobial efficacy and elucidating the mechanisms underlying their activity.

Antimicrobial resistance in methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a major global health challenge. This study reports the design and synthesis of novel phenyltriazole derivatives as potential anti-MRSA agents. The new scaffold replaces the thiazole core with a 1,2,3-triazole ring, enhancing antimicrobial efficacy and physicochemical properties.
