Bactericidal efficacy of tobramycin against P. aeruginosa biofilmsa

Strain MBEC [μg/ml (μmol/ml)]
Aerobic exposure Anaerobic exposure
Nonmucoid 200 (0.43) 1,600 (3.42)
Mucoid 800 (1.71) 1,600 (3.42)

Biofilms were exposed to tobramycin in PBS (pH 6.5) for 18 h under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The MBEC18 h is reported as the concentration of COS-NO required for 5-log-unit reduction in biofilm viability.
