Mechanistic Insight into the Antimicrobial Mode of Action of Usnic Acid and Its Synergy with Norfloxacin against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
2024-07-29
Abstract excerpt
In this study, global response analysis was performed to explore the mechanism of action of Usnic acid and its synergy with Norfloxacin, a well-known quinolone antibiotic to which MRSA clinical isolates showed resistance (MIC, 500 µg/mL). Microdilution assay, growth kinetics, microscopic analysis, and cell-based assays consistently showed that Usnic acid possess strong anti-staphylococcal activity (MIC, 7.8 µg/ml)...
