Article Title: An In Vitro Study of the Effect of Viburnum opulus Extracts on Key Processes in the Development of Staphylococcal Infections

doi: 10.3390/molecules26061758

Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of V. opulus extracts on staphylococcal protein A (SpA) expression on the bacterial cell surface: ( a ) S. aureus ATCC 29213; ( b ) S. aureus ATCC 43300; ( c ) S. aureus H9; VF— V. opulus fruit extract; VB— V. opulus bark extract; a/e/w—acetonic/ethanolic/water extract; ChA—chlorogenic acid; * statistically significant differences compared to the control ( p ≤ 0.05).

Article Snippet: All types of VB extract used at both concentrations (100 and 500 µg/mL) almost always significantly decreased protein A expression, but higher concentrations of VBa and VBe were extremely active, causing 92.3% and 90.3% inhibition of SpA expression, respectively, on S. aureus ATCC 29213 cells ( a), 78.3% and 78.0% inhibition on S. aureus ATCC 43300 cells ( b), and 94.9% and 90.3% inhibition on S. aureus H9 cells ( c).
