Table 2.
Hemolytic and proteolytic activity of supernatants of S. aureus biofilms.
| Supernatants of mature biofilms | Diameter of hemolysis halo (mm) | Diameter of proteolysis (mm) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| α-hemolysin | δ-hemolysin | ||
| Newman | 3.00 ± 0.06 | 3.33 ± 0.17 | 7.7 ± 0.2 |
| Newman + 2 mM SAL | 2.50 ± 0.06 (*) | 2.17 ± 0.17 (*) | 4.5 ± 1.2 (*) |
| Newman agr | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Asterisks represent the significance of the decrease in the hemolysis and proteolysis abilities mediated by SAL (t-test).
