Abstract

Leonurus cardiaca extract was studied for its potential to prevent staphylococcal infective endocarditis using in vitro and ex vivo models. The extract reduced Staphylococcus aureus adhesion, biofilm formation and virulence on heart-valve models, supporting a cardioprotective/anti-infective use of motherwort.
