Annihilation of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) via Photobleaching of Staphyloxanthin

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report a drug-free approach to eliminate MRSA through photobleaching of staphyloxanthin, a membrane-bound antioxidant. Staphyloxanthin bleaching by low-level blue light eradicates MRSA synergistically with external or internal reactive oxygen species
