Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the major mutant strains. The generation of biofilm reduces the effects of antibiotics on Staphylococcus aureus, which makes the antibiotic therapy limited. New medicine need to be developed, and TCM as the natural medicine is becoming a hot spot. This article reviewed the research of TCM against MRSA biofilmsin recent years, and provided references for research and development of new medicine.
