Relative expression of virulence-related genes in Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The relative expression of hla, icaA, icaD, eno, epbs and fib genes in S. aureus ATCC 25923 treated with ½ of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of povidone-iodine (PVP-I) compared to that of untreated S. aureus ATCC 25923. Error bars represent the standard deviation ***p < 0.0005, ****p < 0.0001
