Inhibition of antibiotic activity using PAO581 in the microdiffusion assay.
| strain | PAO581 alginate | CF sputum |
|---|---|---|
| 1c | 0.61 | 0.89 |
| 1p | 0.80 | 0.49 |
| ciprofloxacin | 0.97 | −0.33 |
| tobramycin | 0.98 | 0.0 |
n = 0 (drag bioavailability not affected)
n = 0 < to 1 (drug bioavailability decreased)
n < 0 (drug bioavailability increased)
