PAP of ECC. A Occurrence frequencies of CST-resistant subpopulations in the presence of various CST concentrations (0, 0.125, 1, and 8 mg/L). B Occurrence frequencies of CST-resistant subpopulations in isolates with low, moderate, and high CST MICs. Number in parentheses indicates the number of ECC isolates. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.001. C Comparison of the occurrence frequencies of CST-resistant subpopulations between CST-resistant isolates displaying and not displaying the skip-well phenomenon in the presence of 0.125, 1, and 8 mg/L CST. Number in parentheses indicates the number of ECC isolates. *p < 0.05. D Correlation between CST MICs and occurrence frequencies of CST-resistant subpopulations
