Inhibition of Klebsiella pneumoniae Growth and Capsular Polysaccharide Biosynthesis by Fructus mume
Figure 2
Fructus mume reduces K. pneumoniae mucoviscosity. Different concentrations of Fructus mume extract (FM), as indicated, were added to LB broth inoculated with K. pneumoniae NTUH-K2044 (a) or CG43S3 (b). After overnight incubation at 37°C, the bacterial mucoviscosity was assessed by a low speed centrifugation. LB broth only inoculated with the bacteria serves as a negative control.
