The researchers identified 58 constituents in the essential oil, with α-pinene comprising 20.56%. Using safranin staining and scanning electron microscopy, it demonstrated that α-pinene inhibited MRSA biofilm formation. The study concludes that α-pinene shows potential as a natural antibacterial agent against MRSA by targeting biofilm formation and virulence factor expression.
