Biochemical and antimicrobial activity of negamycin, tetracycline, and tigecycline on wild-type and mutant E. coli strain SQ171
Strain | NMY | TET | TIG |
Wild-type | 32 (2.9) | 2 (15) | 2 (0.28) |
U1052G | 256 (13) | 0.5 (2.7) | 2 (0.36) |
U1060A | 128 (11) | 16 (51) | 8 (2.1) |
MIC measurements are in micrograms per milliliter (n = 3). IC50 values (in parentheses) obtained in luminescence-based in vitro-coupled transcription–translation assays with purified components are shown in micromolar (n = 3). NMY, negamycin; TET, tetracycline; TIG, tigecycline.
