Activity of auranofin against planktonic persister cells and established biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. (A) Effect of auranofin on planktonic S. aureus persister cells. (B) Effect of auranofin and control antibiotics (vancomycin and linezolid) on established biofilms of S. aureus and S. epidermidis. Statistical analysis was performed using the two-tailed Student's t-test. *,# P-values of ≤0.05 were considered significant; auranofin was compared both with controls (*) and with antibiotics (#).
