Effects of Myr and Myr-gly on S. aureus virulence factors: clumping, cell surface hydrophobicity, staphyloxanthin and hemolysis. (a,b) Inhibitory activity of Myr on the ability of S. aureus Newman and ATCC 6538 to clump with fibrinogen. (c,d) Inhibitory activity of Myr-gly on the ability of S. aureus Newman and ATCC 6538 to clump with fibrinogen. (e) Activity of Myr on the staphyloxanthin pigment production by S. aureus ATCC 6538. The insert present S. aureus ATCC 6538 susceptibility to H₂O₂ after staphyloxanthin reduction induced by Myr. (f) Activity of Myr-gly on the staphyloxanthin pigment production by S. aureus ATCC 6538. (g) Hemolysis promoted by supernatants of Myr treated-S. aureus ATCC 29213. (h) Hemolysis promoted by supernatants of Myr-gly treated-S. aureus ATCC 29213. (i) Effect of Myr on purified Hla induced hemolysis. (j) Effect of Myr-gly on purified Hla induced hemolysis. *Represents statistically significant differences (p-value < 0.01) in comparison to the control. The experiments were done in triplicate and representative images are shown.
