Antibacterial Activity and Multi-Targeted Mechanism of Action of Suberanilic Acid Isolated from Pestalotiopsis trachycarpicola DCL44: An Endophytic Fungi from Ageratina adenophora.

ABSTRACT: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a highly threatening foodborne pathogen capable of causing severe organ and life-threatening diseases. Over the past years, various commercial antibiotics have been used to treat MRSA infections. However, these commercial antibiotics have not yielded efficient results and also cause other side effects; therefore, there is a need for the development of effective alternatives to replace these commercial antibiotics. Suberanilic acid, an amide alkaloid obtained from the endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis trachycarpicola DCL44, has been identified as a significant antimicrobial agent. However, its antibiotic properties on multi-drug-resistant bacteria such as MRSA have not been fully explored. Therefore, to investigate the poten
