Effects of Clausena lansium leaves volatile oil emulsion against Staphylococcus aureus in mice via autophagy modulation

Volatile oil from fresh Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels (Rutaceae) (common name Wampee) has been previously extracted by our group from fresh C. lansium leaf and its components were qualitative and quantitatively analyzed by GC-MS. It altered the cell membrane permeability of Staphylococcus aureus and reduced the levels of inflammation factors. However, previous in vivo reports on the anti-inflammatory and the antibacterial properties against S. aureus are scarce.
