Hi There,
Welcome to uk.sci.med pharmacy. I don't know about MRSA but I was mailed
3 free samples of a preparation of tea tree oil on monday that was
indicated for vaginal thrush, so I guess it must have some anti-
septic/anti-biotic properties.
Regards

Tea Tree oil has anti-fungal and antiseptic properties. It works well for external topical applications, but would burn rather terribly as a treatment for vaginal candidiasis... Perhaps an inhibitory assay with various fungal and bacterial organisms is in order.

There are a group of Western Australian clinical microbiologists very interested in this field. I think they have a few publications. I'm sure Thomas Riley is one author, why don't you do a medline search with Tom's name and Tea Tree in it.
