Effect of <i>Juglans regia</i> on cell morphology of MRSA.

<p>Change in cellular morphology of MRSA was observed by Transmission Electron Microscopy, A: Control cell, B-D shows bacterial cells treated with <i>Juglans regia</i>. B: Intracellular thick material. C: covering on unknown material on cell surface. D: Hollow and de-shaped bacteria.</p

Effect of synergistic antimicrobial combinations on growth kinetics of MDR pathogens.

<p>Synergistic antimicrobial combinations of (a) <i>Camellia sinensis</i> and nalidixic acid and (b) <i>Juglans regia</i> and oxacillin were tested for antimicrobial effect on growth kinetics of MDR <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serovar Typhi and Methicillin Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> respectively. Organisms were grown in MH broth in the presence of plants extracts alone and in combination with antibiotics and samples were taken for colony counts at different time intervals. Control organisms were grown in MH broth only. A 2Log₁₀ decrease at any time point from original CFU was considered as significant. Results are given as average for three experiments.</p
