Proteomic study of the inhibitory effects of tannic acid on MRSA biofilm by Yang Miao, Wang Shuang, Qu Qianwei, Liu Xin, Peng Wei, Yang Hai, Zhou Yonghui, Yu Xinbo

“…The transcriptional levels of the genes corresponding to five randomly selected DEPs (glnA, ribD, clpB, gap, and lukE) were consistent with the proteomics data (p &lt; 0.05). Bioinformatic analysis showed that the changes in the MRSA strains after TA intervention primarily involved pyrimidine and purine metabolisms, arginine biosynthesis, and the citric acid cycle.ConclusionTA exerts an antibacterial effect on MRSA and can be used as a potential candidate for the development of anti-biofilm drugs, thereby laying a foundation for the treatment of MRSA biofilm-induced infections.…”
