Table 1. Inhibitory concentrations 50% (IC50) values for M. marinum growth in extracellular and intracellular conditions.
antibiotic | extracellular IC50 (µM) | intracellular IC50 (µM) |
streptomycin | 0.1–1 | 3–7 |
fusidic acid | 0.01–0.1 | 3–5 |
ethionamide | 0.1–1 | 3–10 |
isoniazid | 5–10 | 20–30 |
rifampin | 0.1–0.5 | 3–10 |
rifabutin | 2–3 | 1–3 |
ethambutol | 5–10 | 5–10 |
levofloxacin | 10–30 | >30 |
moxifloxacin | 5–10 | >30 |
thioridazine | 1–5 | 5–10 |
PA-824 | 3–5 | 5–10 |
As presented in Figure 5C, GFP-expressing M. marinum growth kinetics were measured in broth culture and during cellular infection in presence of antibiotics in a concentration range, and IC50 values were graphically determined from a series of experiments with similar outcome.
