Equisetin Targets Intracellular Staphylococcus aureus through a Host Acting Strategy

Abstract excerpt

Mammalian cells act as reservoirs of internalized bacteria to circumvent extracellular antibacterial compounds, resulting in relapse and reinfection diseases. The intracellular persistence of Staphylococcus aureus renders most traditional antibiotics useless, due to their inadequate subcellular accumulation. To replenish our antibiotic arsenal, we found that a marine-derived compound, equisetin, efficiently...
