Thymol Reduces agr-Mediated Virulence Factor Phenol-Soluble Modulin Production in Staphylococcus aureus

Figure 2

Production of δ-toxin by S. aureus strains cultured in TSB (with and without 0.5 MIC thymol) for 20 h. δ-toxins concentration in the culture supernatant was measured by LC–MS. Values represent means ± SD of three independent experiments. Striped portions of bars represent deformylated form of δ-toxins.
