FIG. 2.
Effect of HDH inhibitors on B. suis growth in minimal medium. The experiments were performed as follows. Bacteria (108/ml) from an overnight culture in tryptic soy broth were used to inoculate 3 ml of freshly prepared minimal medium. Growth was performed under shaking at 170 rpm and at 37°C in the absence or in the presence of various drugs at final a concentration of 100 μM. The growth of bacteria was followed by measuring the optical density at 600 nm (OD600nm) at 48, 72, and 96 h of incubation. One representative experiment out of three is shown.
