Coral-Associated Bacteria as a Promising Antibiofilm Agent against Methicillin-Resistant and -Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms

Figure 5

Effect of CAB-E2 and E4 on biofilm formation of MRSA and MSSA isolates along with the reference strains; antibiofilm activity of CAB-E2 against (a) MRSA and (b) MSSA isolates; CAB-E4 against (c) MRSA and (d) MSSA isolates, quantified by crystal violet adsorption and measuring absorbance at 570 nm. CAB extracts of varied concentrations ranging from 10 to 150 μg/mL were used in order to probe the BIC. 100 μg/mL was fixed as the BIC for both the extracts, as this concentration shows maximum inhibition of biofilm. Mean values of triplicate individual experiments and SDs are shown.
