Aqueous and ethanolic extracts obtained from two brown algae (Cystoseira compressa (Esper) Gerloff et. Nizamuddin) and Padina pavonica (Linnaeus) Thivy) have been investigated for their ability to inhibit 35 hospital isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Both aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the plant were effective on MRSA. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of the ethanolic extract with the greatest antibacterial activity were those of Cystoseira compressa MIC 3.2-6.3mg/mL and MBC 6.3-25mg/mL, respectively
