ABSTRACT
Staphylococcus aureus is a smart pathogen, capable of causing many different infections. It is often resistant to available antibiotics like Oxacillin, macrolides, and aminoglycosides. This necessitates the discovery of newer classes of molecules and naturally derived compounds to tackle this pathogen. We here present the inhibitory effect of turmeric, a common kitchen ingredient, on growth, multiplication and virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus.
Keywords: Staphylococcus aureus, turmeric, inhibition.
