TABLE 2.

Relative colonization abilitiesa of V. fischeri strains carrying antibiotic resistance

Strain RCIb
24 h 48 h
JRM100 0.91 ± 0.29 NDc
JRM200 0.76 ± 0.28 ND
ESR1 0.05 ± 0.82d 0.03 ± 0.16d
a

Colonization ability was measured during competition with the parent wild-type strain ES114.

b

RCI, percentage of a given strain in the light organ divided by percentage of that strain in the inoculum at 24 or 48 h postinoculation.

c

ND, not determined.

d

The ability to colonize the light organ was significantly less than that of wild-type V. fischeri (P < 0.05).
