MICs of chelating agents

Agent MICa for strain:
H37Rv H37Rv bacA::hyg H37Rv bacA::hyg- pKLMt5
EDTA 100 μM
Dypiridyl 250 mM 0.5×
Deferoxamine 2-4 mM 0.25-0.5× 0.5×
CuSO4 10 mg ml−1
a

Values for the mutants are expressed as the ratio of the MIC obtained for the mutant to that obtained for the parental strain, H37Rv. Values were determined from three independent experiments, each performed in duplicate.
