Ct values as a measure of expression of the selected virulence genes. Genes for toxin production, iron acquisition, antibiotic resistance protectins and normal function of the cell were tested after exposure to Cysticlean® using RT-qPCR all genes were significantly downregulated when tested using a t-test. * p = 0.01 to 0.05 ** p = 0.001 to 0.01 *** p = < 0.001 ns = not significant
