FIG. 5.
Response to protoporphyrin IX (PPIX)-mediated photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of Staphylococcus aureus revealing various antimicrobial susceptibility. Each box plot represents the spread of bacterial response across different clinical isolates. PEN, penicillin; CEF, cefoxitin; GEN, gentamycin; CIP, ciprofloxacin; MOX, moxifloxacin; ICR, inducible clindamycin resistance (POS, positive; NEG, negative); ERY, erythromycin; KLN, clindamycin; LZD, linezolid; TE, teicoplanin; VAN, vancomycin; TET, tetracycline; TIG, tigecycline; FA, fusidic acid; RA, rifampicin; TMP-SMX, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole; MUP; mupirocin (category of antimicrobial susceptibility: R, resistant; I, intermediate; S, susceptible). The error bars represent minimum and maximum value of log10 unit reduction in viable counts.
