Influence of Nisin-Biogel at Subinhibitory Concentrations on Virulence Expression in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolates from Diabetic Foot Infections

A new approach to diabetic foot infections (DFIs) has been investigated, using a nisin-biogel combining the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) nisin with the natural polysaccharide guar-gum. Since in in vivo conditions bacteria may be exposed to decreased antimicrobial concentrations, known as subinhibitor...
