^aFold change in gene expression comparing gene expression in the WT to gene expression in the parR mutant (WT/parR mutant) in the absence and presence of 4 μg/ml indolicidin or comparing gene expression in the presence and absence of 4 μg/ml indolicidin in the WT or parR mutant.

^bNT, not tested.
