| Popis: | The camel's urine samples, fresh or preserved for one year at 5?C and 25-33?C, have an antimicrobial activity against six isolates of Staphylococcus aureus MRSA, four isolates have mecA gene, S.aureus Rm1, S.aureusRm5, S.aureus Rm24, S.aureus Rm37, and two isolates MRSA don’t have mecA gene S. aureus 23 and S. aureus 30. Results confirmed the high inhibition capacity of both fresh and preserved urine against MRSA. Untreated urine samples (unsterile) were the most effective regarding inhibiting bacterial growth. The camel's urine samples stored at 5?C for one year were more inhibitory to MRSA especially in liquid media. Some bacteria have been isolated from camel urine including E. coli, which inhibited three of MRSA have mecA, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that inhibited the growth of MRSA isolates. |
