Abstract
The study aimed to investigate whether the extract from the Thuja orientalis plant had any antibacterial properties against fifteen MRSA isolates in a group of thirty-seven Staphylococcus aureus isolates. To determine bacterial resistance, an antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted on five different drugs. Methicillin showed the highest level of bacterial resistance (100%), whereas Vancomycin had the lowest level of resistance (6.6%). The results of the examination of the Thuja orientalis plant extract clearly showed that it had a significant suppressive effect on all Staphylococcus aureus isolates.
