Biofilm matrix observed by light microscopy. (A, C) Thick biofilm formation in the untreated (control) strain of S. aureus SA-01. (B) Reduced biofilm matrix in the I. verum fruit (methanolic crude extract)-treated sample of MRSA (SA-01) compared to the control after 16 h of incubation. (D) 3-HBA dramatically reduced biofilm formation on a glass coverslip.
