---|---|---|---|---|
20 μg/disk | 5 μg/disk | 25 μg/ml | 5 μg/ml | |
Gentamicin | 150 | 130 | 0 ± 0 | 0 ± 0 |
CpG ODN | 1 | 1 | 1,666 ± 37 | 1,592 ± 188 |
Non-CpG ODN | 1 | 0 | 1,661 ± 176 | 1,752 ± 67 |
PBS | 1 | 1,800 ± 56 |
The values for the disk diffusion test are the diameters of the zones of inhibition. The values for the liquid culture assay are the numbers of CFU of H. pylori (mean ± standard deviation).
