Research demonstrates enhanced antibacterial effects of Pistacia chinensis against MRSA, suggesting new treatment strategies.
PciE exhibits potent antibacterial activity against MRSA by targeting membrane integrity, reducing oxidative stress, and interfering with resistance mechanisms. Its combination with methicillin enhances efficacy, offering a promising strategy for combating antibiotic-resistant MRSA infections. While these MIC values are relatively high, the extract's synergistic effect with methicillin and low resistance induction suggest potential topical or adjuvant applications.
