PMID: 26441881
Front Microbiol. 2015 Sep 09;6:947. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2015.00947. eCollection 2015.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from non-healthcare environments, is a potential problem to public health. In our survey a total of 71 coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) belonging to 11 different species were isolated from three large hotels in London,...

Epicatechin gallate, a naturally occurring polyphenol, alters the course of infection with β-lactam-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the zebrafish embryo.

Frontiers in microbiology

Stevens CS, Rosado H, Harvey RJ, Taylor PW.
PMID: 26441953
Front Microbiol. 2015 Sep 28;6:1043. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2015.01043. eCollection 2015.

(-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg) substantially modifies the properties of Staphylococcus aureus and reversibly abrogates β-lactam resistance in methicillin/oxacillin resistant (MRSA) isolates. We have determined the capacity of ECg to alter the course of infection in zebrafish embryos challenged with epidemic...
