Article Title: Targeting the G-quadruplex as a novel strategy for developing antibiotics against hypervirulent drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

doi: 10.1186/s12929-024-01109-3

Figure Lengend Snippet: Confirmation of antibacterial activity. A The antibacterial activities of NMM, TMPyP2, BRACO19, TMPyP4, and Thioflavin T against SAUSA300 were examined by measuring cell growth in terms of OD at 600 nm. B, C SAUSA300 cell growth assessed as CFU/mL ( B ); representative sheep-blood agar plates showing the appearance of colonies during CFU enumeration ( C ). D , E Comparative killing kinetics of vancomycin (Van), Tetracycline (Tet), and NMM against SAUSA300 based on CFU/mL at 1.0 × ( D ); and 10 × ( E ) MIC of Van, Tet, NMM, and 0.05% Triton X-100 at different time points (0 to 12 h). F Comparative live/dead assay of SAUSA300 with 1 × MIC of NMM (5 µM) and Van (0.6 µM) using confocal microscopy, showing the proportion of live/dead SAUSA300 cells. SYTO9 and PI were used to stain the number of total and dead cells as green-fluorescent and red-fluorescent cells, respectively. All experiments were performed in triplicate and the average data was plotted with standard deviation. Significance of the data was analyzed using Student’s t -test. p -values less than 0.05 were considered significant (ns = non-significant p > 0.05, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005, and **** p < 0.0001)
