This is primarily because of the general belief that herbal drugs are without any side effects‚ besides being cheap and locally available. The use of plants for healing purposes predates human history and forms the origin of much modern medicine. Many synthetic drugs originated from plant sources: a century ago‚ most of the few

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Staphylococcus aureus is an important and common pathogen in humans. It is found in the nose or on the skin of many healthy‚ asymptomatic persons (i.e.‚ carriers) and can cause infections with clinical manifestations ranging from pustules to sepsis and death. Most transmission occurs through the contaminated hands of a person infected with or carrying S. aureus. MRSA infections frequently are encountered in health-care settings (Lowy‚ 1998). A common

Many of the bacteria that cause common bacterial infection are mutating and therefore gaining resistance. This means that the original antibiotics that were once used to treat these common illnesses are becoming increasing ineffective. This resistance delays treatment as the original antibiotics are ineffective. This can lead to the disease worsening and even death. This means that common illnesses that were once easily treated by antibiotics are no longer so easy to treat. This results in increased

Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus‚ were grown singly and mixed on four different types of agar in order to observe the varying morphologies within the colonies. Resulting data was analyzed to provide understanding of the use of differing culture media and conditions for bacterial growth. RESULTSFour different agar types were used in this experiment. The first (Nutrient) allowed for growth of both E. coli and S. aureus. The second agar used (MKL) inhibited the growth of S. aureus but allowed the
