Effect of Riboflavin and antibiotic treatment on the intracellular killing of S. aureus infected murine peritoneal macrophages. Intracellular killing assay was determined from the lysate after time dependent phagocytosis in presence or absence of Riboflavin or antibiotics and was expressed in terms of number of CFU/ml lysate. Results were presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. &, significant difference with respect to CM; *, significant difference with respect to SAM; #, significant difference with respect to Riboflavin(RIBO) plus S. aureus infected macrophages at P < 0.05 level of significance.^, significant difference with respect to ciprofloxacin (CIP) or % Significant difference with respect to Azithromycin (AZM) plus S. aureus infected macrophages
