Molecular phylogenetic and biochemical characterization of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from non-sterile pharmaceutical cough formulations: An insight into genetic diversity.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Contamination of cough syrups not produced under sterile conditions is dangerous for users and can affect product quality. METHODS: The bacterial quality was investigated in 15 cough syrup samples collected from Punjab, India (validity: January-June 2024). This was confirmed when contamination was measured via membrane filtration (0.45 μm pores) and microbes were grown on Tryptone Soya Agar, mannitol...
