A xanthone derivative MGS-3, confers protection against Staphylococcus aureus infection through SarA-mediated inhibition of alpha-hemolysin expression.
Results establish SarA suppression as MGS-3's primary anti-virulence mechanism, and MGS-3 represents a promising candidate for anti-staphylococcal drug development, targeting virulence rather than bacterial viability to potentially curb resistance evolution.
