Characterization of influence of ZnO-NPs on the expression of S. aureus biofilm and oxidative stress genes by RT- qPCR. The expression levels of icaA, icaR, agrA, sarA, katA and sigB in both ZnO-NPs treated and untreated S. aureus ATCC 6538 were analyzed by qRT-PCR. The expression level of each gene was normalized to 16S rRNA and expression foldchange was calculated by the 2−∆∆CT method. The data shown are the means ± standard errors from three biological experiments with three technical replicates each. * P < 0.05was considered significant
