Snake Bite, Venom, Anti-Venom Production and Anti-Venom Activity of Medicinal Plants: A Review”

摘要

The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefit(s) of bacteriophage activity as antibacterial agent alone and in combination(s) with antibiotic(s) against Multidrug Resistant (MDR) S. aureus. Fifty eight samples were collected from patients with multiple types of infections attainted to The Medical City of Al-imamain Al-khadimain (peace being upon them) from February 2014 to April 2014. Combinations of phage with ? and ? MIC of gentamicin, ? and ? MIC of vancomycin and ? and 1 MIC of tetracycline for isolate 4 and combinations of phage with ? MIC of gentamicin, ? MIC of vancomycin and ? and 1 MIC of tetracycline for isolate showed synergistic effects against S. aureus isolates, while combinations of phage with ? MIC of gentamicin and ? MIC of vancomycin for isolate 7 showed indifference effects. Almost all phage-antibiotic combinations resulted in synergism and only two combinations showed indifference effects. It is recommended to study the synergistic effect of antibiotic-combinations and phage-antibiotic combinations in vivo using suitable laboratory animals.
