We analyzed the antimicrobial potential of a novel furan fatty acid, 7,10-epoxyoctadeca-7,9-dienoic acid (7,10-EODA) against methicillin-resistant and -sensitive S. aureus (MRSA and MSSA). The anti-staphylococcal activity of 7,10-EODA and its consequences on cell physiology was determined by disc diffusion, broth microdilution, and flow cytometry. Anti-virulence activity of 7,10-EODA was evaluated by bioassays. 7,10-EODA was anti-staphylococcal with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range of 125-250 mg/L. 7,10-EODA exhibited a dose response and inhibited MRSA 01ST001 by 90.5% and ATCC 29213 (MSSA) by 85.3% at 125 mg/L. MIC of 7,10-EODA permeabilized >95 % of MRSA 01ST001 cells to small molecules. Sublethal dose of 7,10-EODA was non-toxic but markedly reduced the hemolytic, coagulase, and autolytic activities of MRSA and MSSA at 15.6 mg/L. The results provide a lead for the utilization of natural furan fatty acids as novel anti-MRSA agents.
