Sensitization of MRSA and MRSP to oxacillin by anti-mecA PNA. a Oxacillin resistant NCTC 13142 reduced in CFU with increasing concentrations of anti-mecA PNA, A73, while the scrambled PNA, scrA, did not have an effect. b Oxacillin-resistant HH-1 reduced in CFU with increasing concentrations of both A73 and scrA, with A73 being more effective. Relative CFU reduction was calculated as a ratio to an untreated control in each experiment. Values shown are mean ± SD, n = 3. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
