Abstract :

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most common pathogens worldwide that can cause variety of skinand soft tissue infection and can be fatal causing septicemia. Searching for drug and chemical compounds against MRSA is still indemand. Grape (Vitis Vinifera) is consumed widely around the world, and the seed is considered as a waste product but study invitro proven to be a rich source of polyphenolic compounds that show antibacterial effect against MRSA. The aim of this study is toinvestigate the antibacterial effect of grape seed extract on MRSA on white rat (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strain skin wound andcompare the antibacterial effect to mupirocin’s effect on MRSA. Experimental research design using posttest only controls groupdesign. The wound at the back site of 27 healthy male white rats Wistar strain (Rattus norvegicus) inoculated with MRSA. The swabspecimens taken 6 hours after inoculation of MRSA, on day 1 and day 3 after the treatment with grape seed extract (Vitis vinifera)and mupirocin for microbiological examination to count the number of colonies. On all of the wounds in which were applied topicalgrape seed extract, the number of colonies of MRSA was significantly raised with respect to the control in 1 x 24 hours (p < 0,005)and decreased (p < 0,0001) after 3 x 24 hours, while treated with mupirocin significantly decreased within 1 x 24 hours. Grape seedextract has antibacterial effect, but it has slower effect compared to mupirocin.(FMI 2015;51:13-15)
