Staphylococcus Aureus is a common cause for infections in the community and a major cause in hospital based disease. Up to 40% of the general public thought to be carriers and of hospital staff from 50 – 70%‚ and is associated with a higher risk of infection in the hospital setting. The anterior nares have been shown to be the most frequent site of carriage and are the single site of detection. [1] In certain situations‚ hospital patients and staff may be investigated and screened to identify carriers

HPLC detection and quantification of polyphenolic compounds Detection and quantification of selected phenolic compounds in the ethanol extract were determined by HPLC-DAD analysis as described by Ismet et al. [13] with some modifications. It was carried out on a Dionex UltiMate 3000 system equipped with quaternary rapid separation pump (LPG-3400RS) and photodiode array detector (DAD-3000RS). Separation was performed using Acclaim® C18 (5µm) Dionex column (4.6 x 250 mm) at 30 ºC with a flow rate of

Capparis spinosa L. belongs to the family Capparaceae is distributed throughout India and commonly known as Maratimokku in Tamil. In the present study attempts were made to assess the phytochemical‚ nutraceutical and chemical composition‚ pharmacological properties and safety profiles of C. spinosa. Powder microscopy revealed characteristics features of C. spinosa. Preliminary phytochemical screening of flower buds of C. spinosa L. revealed the presence of alkaloids‚ reducing sugars‚ carbohydrates

Bacillales order. Like many members of the genus Staphylococcus‚ S. epidermidis is non-motile‚ as well as non-spore forming (Horak 1). The species is also facultative anaerobes‚ but not all strains of S. epidermidis will ferment. S. epidermidis is catalase positive‚ and this sets them apart from other gram-positive cocci‚ such as Streptococcus. They are also urease positive‚ cannot utilize Mannitol‚ and are resistant to several antibiotics (Horak). Staphylococcus epidermidis is considered “an opportunistic
