Effects of sodium salicylate (SAL) on live KP-M1 strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae. After 24-h incubation with various concentrations of SAL, the growth of KP-M1 cells were monitored by reading the absorbance (OD) at 490 nm. The growth of KP-M1 cells cultured in media containing 10 or 30 μg/mL SAL did not differ from those cultured without SAL. However, the KP-M1 cells decreased in growth when the bacteria were cultured in the presence of 300 μg/mL SAL.
