Inhibition of Klebsiella pneumoniae Growth and Capsular Polysaccharide Biosynthesis by Fructus mume

Figure 3

Effect of Fructus mume on K. pneumoniae susceptibility to normal human serum. Different concentrations of Fructus mume extract (FM) were added to LB broth inoculated with K. pneumoniae NTUH-K2044 (a) or CG43S3 (b), as indicated in the margin. After overnight incubation at 37°C, the bacterial serum resistance was determined. LB broth only inoculated with the bacteria serves as a negative control. *, compared to the indicated group.
