Its primary mechanism of action involves inducing oxidative stress.<b>Methodology.</b> Sensitivity assays were performed using broth microdilution.

Mechanism of action was evaluated using flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and <i>in silico</i> analysis.<b>Aim.</b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the <i>in vitro</i> antibacterial potential of menadione against planktonic and biofilm forms of methicillin-sensitive and resistant <i>S. aureus</i> strains. It also examined its role as a modulator of oxacillin activity and investigated the mechanism of action involved in its activity.<b>Results.</b> Menadione showed antibacterial activity against planktonic cells at concentrations ranging from 2 to 32 µg ml<sup>-1</sup>, with bacteriostatic action. When combined with oxacillin, it exhibited an additive and synergistic effect against the tested strains. Menadione also demonstrated antibiofilm activity at subinhibitory concentrations and effectively combated biofilms with reduced sensitivity to oxacillin alone. Its mechanism of action involves the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage. It also showed interactions with important targets, such as DNA gyrase and dehydroesqualene synthase. The presence of ascorbic acid reversed its effects.<b>Conclusion.</b> Menadione exhibited antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against MRSA strains, suggesting its potential as an adjunct in the treatment of <i>S. aureus</i> infections. The main mechanism of action involves the production of ROS, which subsequently leads to DNA damage. Additionally, the activity of menadione can be complemented by its interaction with important virulence targets.</p>","PeriodicalId":16343,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medical microbiology","volume":"72 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10243492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
