a Caco-2 cells cocultured with S. aureus. b Caspase-3 activity. c Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. d NO release. Data represent the mean ± SD (n = 3 biologically independent samples). Significance was assessed using a two-sided Student’s t-test with multiple comparisons: *p < 0.05. e Schematic diagram showing the NR-MoS2-induced inhibition of S. aureus adhesion to and invasion of human cells. The biofilm inducers glucose (G), ethanol (E), and NaCl (N) were added to the TSB medium to final concentrations of 0.5%, 4%, and 2%, respectively. The concentration of NR-MoS2 (NR) was 2 μg mL−1.
