(a) Haemolysis of rabbit erythrocytes by supernatants of cultures of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates in the absence (□) or presence (■) of 25 μg ml−1 of (−)-epicatechin gallate (ECg). Haemolysis, indicative of α-toxin activity, is expressed relative to erythrocytes lysed with water (100%); (b) Western blot of SDS-PAGE gel of supernatants from cultures of strain BZ-17 grown in the presence of increasing concentrations of ECg. Differences between pairs were significant: n = 3–8; Wilcoxon-signed rank test 0·05 < P <0·005.
