Fig. 1From: Virulence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus modulated by the YycFG two-component pathway in a rat model of osteomyelitisEffects of ASyycG on S. aureus growth. a The growth curves of S. aureus strains were compared in three independent experiments. b Crystal violet microtiter assay for determining biofilm biomass (*p < 0.05, n = 10). c YycG production was quantified in Western blots probed with an anti-YycG antibody. d Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE gel showing the equal loading of samples. e RT-qPCR measurements were applied for quantifying the expression of biofilm-related genes. Data represent ten biological replicates and are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (*p < 0.05, n = 10)Back to article page
