Identification of the antibacterial mechanism of cryptotanshinone on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using bioinformatics analysis
Abstract Cryptotanshinone (CT) is an extract from the traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza, which inhibits the growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro. This study aims to determine the antibacterial mechanisms of CT by integrating bioinformatics analysis and...
