a Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).

b Diclofenac (Dc).

c Fold increase (FI) or fold decrease (FD) in MIC and in the presence of Dcl.

d DcRS mutant derivative isolates of SH1000 (SC1 through SC3) all had the same MICs; those of COL (SC4 through SC6) also all had the same MICs.

e All (all strains in the study expressed the same MIC: SH1000, COL, SC1-SC6, BB255, WGB8287, SA1199B, and WBG9312).
