Effect of HAM on biofilm susceptibility of S. aureus Mu50 against different types of antibiotics.
The percentage CFU/biofilm ± s.d. (compared to untreated control biofilm) for biofilms exposed to vancomycin (VAN), cefazolin (CZ), cefalonium (CL), cephalexin (CFL), cefoxitin (Cfx), daptomycin (DAP), linezolid (LNZ), tobramycin (TOB) or fusidic acid (FA) alone or in combination with HAM. *significantly increased killing was observed when biofilms were treated with the combination of the antibiotic and HAM compared to treatment with the antibiotic alone (n ≥ 9; one-way; p < 0.05).
