Subinhibitory concentrations of Honokiol reduce α-Hemolysin (Hla) secretion by Staphylococcus aureus and the Hla-induced inflammatory response by inactivating the NLRP3 inflammasome

ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most serious human pathogens. α-Hemolysin (Hla) secreted by S. aureus is a key toxin for various infections.
