Fig. 4

Illustrates the biofilm formation and development process, and the ways through which the extract can combat MRSA. M. communis extract directly inhibits cells proliferation and prevents biofilm formation through down-regulation of genes encoding adhesion factors and biofilm substances. It also ruins the established biofilm and kills the cells living inside the biofilm
