The anti-biofilm activity of lomitapide against S. aureus. A and B Four MRSA isolates (YUSA142, YUSA145, CHS350 and YUSA139), four MSSA isolates (YUSA80, SA113, YUSA21 and CHS101) were tested for the inhibitory effect of lomitapide on the biofilm formation under sub-inhibitory concentrations. C The anti-biofilm effect of lomitapide against 27 clinical MRSA isolates was assessed at 1/4 × MIC. The biofilm formation after 24 h incubation was measured by optic density (OD₅₇₀) after dyeing with crystal violet. Data are presented as means ± SD. *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01
