Eradication of MRSA biofilms using amphiphilic cationic coumarin derivatives†
Abstract
Amphiphilic coumarin derivatives have demonstrated potent antibiofilm activity against established methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed morphological changes to bacterial cells and eradication of extracellular matrix from established MRSA biofilms when treated with 7-benzyloxy coumarin derivatives.
