Extracts and compounds rescued the worms from a S. aureus infection. Percentage of survival for S. aureus-infected nematodes upon exposure to extracts (200 μg/mL) and compounds (200 μM) in the primary anti-infective screen. The graph depicts the percentage of survival at 72 hours post-infection when the assay was carried out in the absence of presence of different extracts/compound. Results are expressed as mean ± SD from a representative of at least two individual assays. Dashed lines show the percentage of survival for untreated worms (no extract/no compound) while straight lines demarcate the positive hits. Extracts and compounds that contributed to > 50% infected worm survival were considered as positive in the primary screen.
