ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF GALANGIN ISOLATED FROM THE ALPINIA OFFICINARUM IN COMBINATION WITH GENTAMICIN AGAINST METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS

摘要

PURPOSE: An antibacterial composition for suppressing pathogenic bacteria and resistance bacteria containing galangin is provided to enhance antibacterial activity of gentamicin. CONSTITUTION: An antibacterial composition contains mixture of galangin which is natural antibiotics isolated from Alpinia officinarum Hance and gentamicin which is conventional antibiotics. A bacteria having methicillin resistance is methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and a methicillin-susceptible bacteria is methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus(MSSA).
