From: Attenuating the virulence of the resistant superbug Staphylococcus aureus bacteria isolated from neonatal sepsis by ascorbic acid, dexamethasone, and sodium bicarbonate

Fig. 1

A-ascorbic acid, B-dexamethasone, and C-sodium bicarbonate exhibited no effect on S. aureus growth. The OD600 of bacteria was measured after culturing overnight in LB broth both in the presence and absence of 1/8 MIC of sodium bicarbonate, dexamethasone, and ascorbic acid. D- The growth curve showed no effect of ascorbic acid, dexamethasone, or sodium bicarbonate on S. aureus growth. After culturing bacteria in LB broth, OD600 was measured every 30 minutes with 1/8 MIC of ascorbic acid, dexamethasone, and sodium bicarbonate when compared to that of untreated bacteria. The tests were performed in triplicate. Values are the averages of three independent experiments. The data shown are the means ± standard errors
