UM-C162 improves the lifespan of S. aureus-infected nematodes without affecting bacterial growth. (a) UM-C162 does not inhibit the growth of S. aureus in the presence of 6.25 µM, 12.5 µM and 25 µM UM-C162. (b) Survival curves of S. aureus-infected C. elegans treated with 6.25 µM, 12.5 µM and 25 µM of UM-C162 compared to untreated control (0 µM). UM-C162 at all concentrations tested confers significant enhanced survival in infected nematodes (p < 0.0001). (c) UM-C162 does not alter the basal lifespan of worms fed on heat killed E. coli OP50. Graphs in (b) and (c) show the mean ± SD of six technical replicates (20 worms/replicate) from a representative of two independent experiments.
