Synthetic S. saprophyticus AIP inhibits Agr type-I and -II signaling in S. aureus. (a–l) S. aureus LAC, HFH-30008, MW2, and HFH-30032 strains were incubated in TSB containing 1, 10, and 100 nM S. saprophyticus AIP for 8 h. Growth (a–d) and psmα (e–h) and RNAIII (i–l) expression as measured using qRT-PCR at 8 h are shown. Data are mean ± SD from three independent experiments. n.s., not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 versus DMSO (–) according to one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s correction.
