  1. 1BMECs were cultured in DMEM/F12 medium in the absence of S. aureus and TTO (control group), or in the absence of S. aureus and presence of 0.05% TTO, or in the presence of S. aureus and absence of TTO, or in the presence of S. aureus and 0.05% TTO (n = 3). A, TTO treatment; B, S. aureus treatment
