Characteristics of the bacterial isolates used
Isolate | Source | MIC (μg/ml) |
Resistance mechanism(s) | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Minocyline | Minocyline + PAβNa | Polymyxin B | |||
AB BAA 747 | Laboratory | 0.25 | 0.125 | 1 | Reference adeB expression |
AB 7283 | Clinical | 0.5 | 0.125 | 1 | Moderate overexpressionb of adeB |
AB 1261 | Clinical | 1 | 0.125 | 2 | Moderate overexpression of adeB |
AB 7416 | Clinical | 16 | 2 | 1 | tetB, moderate overexpression of adeB |
PAβN, Phe-Arg b-naphtylamide (100 μg/ml).
Moderate overexpression, >10× the transcription level by qRT-PCR, compared to that in a wild-type isolate susceptible to minocycline.
