Application

Methicillin is used to study bacterium susceptibility , methicillin-resistance in Staphylococcus aureus , and to inhibit cell-wall synthesis .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methicillin inhibits cell wall synthesis. In Legionella pneumophila, methicillin causes the formation of membranous lesions through which cytoplasmic contents are lost .

This study aimed to determine the effect of selected essential oil compounds (EOCs) on the antibacterial activity of β-lactam antibiotics (βLAs) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. The following parameters were studied: antibiotic susceptibility testing, detection of mecA gene and
