Effect of oxacillin and NPPB on the mRNA expression of abcA, norA, and mecA genes. MRSA ATCC 33591 bacteria were treated with oxacillin and NPPB for 7 h. Real-time PCR analysis was conducted to investigate the mRNA expression levels of abcA, norA, and mecA genes. The sequences of the primers used are listed in Table 2. The transcription of abcA and norA genes was significantly downregulated in the combination treatment compared with that in the individual treatments. *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001 compared with the control group.
