Synthetic S. saprophyticus AIP suppresses agr expression in the S. aureus LAC strain. (a) S. saprophyticus AIP structure. (b–e) S. aureus LAC psmα-lux (b, d) and P3-lux (c, e) reporter strains were cultured in TSB containing 1, 10, or 100 nM S. saprophyticus AIP for 24 h. Growth (b,c) and lux expression (d,e) over 24 h are shown. Data are mean ± SD from three independent experiments. n.s., not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 versus DMSO (–) according to one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s correction.
