Polygonum tinctorium extract suppresses the virulence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by disrupting its extracellular vesicles
This study reveals that the low concentration of Indigo Ex can suppresses the virulence of SaEVs without causing cytotoxicity to the host cells. Therefore, Indigo Ex may have the potential to be used to control S. aureus infection.
