For the purpose of application to topical treatment of MRSA infection, we examined the antimicrobial effects of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) on MRSA strains. We also investigated the combination effect of LPC and gentamicin on MRSA growth %K cell membrane permeability %K combination treatment study %K lysophosphatidylcholine %K methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5507393/
