Transcriptional profiles of staphylococcal cells treated with or without APLss. Staphylococcal strains (A) MSSA 25923 and (B) MRSA 33591 were exposed to 0.5× and 1× MIC of APLss for 6 h. Transcriptional profiles were measured by qRT-PCR. Relative mRNA expression represents transcriptional fold changes of toxin genes vs. untreated controls. The experiment was performed in triplicate. Error bars represent standard errors of mean. The *, **, and *** denotes P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.0001, respectively. Abbreviations: APLss, antimicrobial peptidase lysostaphin; MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; MSSA, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus
