MRSA ZOI pattern after administration of S. alba, G. hederacea and S. oleraceus WEPs Extracts, both alone or in combination with the two Antibiotics to which the S.aureus wild type and MRSA resulted resistant (Ampicillin and Amoxicillin, see Figure S1). a. picture of a representative experiment, out of three, of the growth inhibition diameter induced by the three extracts alone at 1/2 of their MIC (blue line), or in combination with Ampicillin and, respectively, Amoxicillin (red line); the administration of each antibiotic alone is indicated by a grey line. b. different statistical differences are based on Kruskal Wallis, p < 0.05, with particular attention to Antibiotics (n = 9) vs Antibiotics plus Extracts (n = 3) inhibition diameter lengths; c. appearance of ABR colonies, after 120 h, between Antibiotic alone (Ampicillin), and Antibiotic co-administration with Extracts. The green drop drawing indicates the extract administration on the Antibiotic disc.
