Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacterium that causes food poisoning, exhibits a strong capacity to form biofilm, and is highly resistant to antimicrobial agents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial characteristics of corosolic acid against S. aureus. S. aureus showed high susceptibility to corosolic acid in a concentration-dependent manner. The minimum inhibitory concentration and colony-forming ability determined by the broth microdilution method showed that corosolic acid had strong antimicrobial activity against the bacteria. The diameters of the inhibition zone and numbers of colony forming units at each concentration of corosolic acid were also measured. In addition, corosolic acid displayed potent biofilm inhibition activity against S. aureus at concentrations below its minimum inhibitory concentration. These results suggest that corosolic acid can be used to effectively prevent biofilm formation by S. aureus, thereby making S. aureus more susceptible to the action of antimicrobials.
