6 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a super-resistant bacterium with strong pathogenicity, causing broad range of infections in various tissues. α-Hemolysin (Hla) is the main virulence factor of S. aureus. Brazilin (BN), is a homoisoflavonoid derivative, obtained from the wood of Caesalpinia echinata Lam (Brazil-wood), Caesalpinia sappan L (Leguminosae), and Caesalpinia violacea...
