We examined tea extract, (-) epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) and theaflavin digallate (TF3) for their antibacterial and bactericidal activities against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and food poisoning strains of S. aureus. Twenty percent tea extract (50μl), EGCg (63μg) and TF3 (125μg) added to one ml of culture medium each inhibited the growth of all strains of MRSA and food poisoning S. aureus tested. Tea extract showed also a bactericidal activity against MRSA even at the same concentration of as in ordinarily brewed tea. EGCg at a concentration of 250μg/ml showed a bactericidal activity against MRSA but not against food poisoning S. aureus, but at 500μg/ml reduced markedly the viable number within 48h. These results suggest that tea and catechin can be used as prophylactic agents against MRSA infection.
