Abstract:Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most serious pathogens threatening food safety and public health. We have previously showed that iturin W exhibited obvious antifungal activity on plant pathogens. In the present study, we found iturin W, especially C14 iturin W, showed strong antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, and the antimicrobial mechanism of C14 iturin W was further investigated by transcriptomic analysis and a related biochemical experiment. The results showed that C14 iturin W can reduce the exp… Show more
