Norlichexanthone Reduces Virulence Gene Expression and Biofilm Formation in Staphylococcus aureus
22 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus is a serious human pathogen and antibiotic resistant, community-associated strains, such as the methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strain USA300, continue to spread. To avoid resistance, anti-virulence therapy has been proposed where toxicity is targeted rather than viability. Previously we have shown that norlichexanthone, a small non-reduced tricyclic polyketide produced by fungi and...
