Antimicrobial Effects and Resistant Regulation of Magnolol and Honokiol on Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Figure 6

Relative gene expression of mecA, mecI, mecR1, femA, and femB gene in MRSA (ATCC 33591) strain treated with the indicated concentrations of the magnolol ((a)–(e)) and honokiol (f). Oxacillin 50 μg/mL (OX 50) was used in this study. MRSA strain was grown in tryptic soy broth for 24 hr at 34°C. Values represent the mean and standard error of three independent experiments. Statistical differences were examined using the independent Student -test. A value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. represents .
