What is it about?
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains are prevalent bacterial pathogen that causes both health care and community-associated infections, hence the name, community-associated strains of methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA). This research presents novel inhibition model against MRSA using root bark extracts of indigenous T. avicennioides

Why is it important?
Increasing resistance to the commonly prescribed antibiotics such as methicillin, resulted in antibiotic-resistant strains of S. aureus which is prevalent in Nigeria.
Perspectives
This study explored novel inhibition model for MRSA. It has scientifically validated the ethno-medical use of root bark extracts of T. avicennioides traditionally in the treatment of skin infections, particularly caused by the test organism.
