Table 2. Mutation rate and sensitivity to DNA damage are unchanged in cells expressing the DNA damage response.
Genotype | mutants/cell/generation (95% CI) | MIC ciprofloxacin, µg/ml (+/− SD) |
Wild type | 4.7×10−9 (2.7–7.1×10−9) | 0.18 (+/−0.03) |
ΔaddA | 1.5×10−8 (0.5–8.4×10−8)* | 0.053 (+/−.01) |
comB4IE | 4.5×10−9 (1.6–5.4×10−9)** | 0.17 (+/−0.03) |
Mutation rate of sacB was determined by fluctuation analysis and p values were determined by student's T-test in comparison to wild type. *p = 0.07, **p = 1. MIC of ciprofloxacin was determined by E-test (Biodisk). SD = standard deviation.
