FIGURE 2.
Effect of gentamicin treatment of G. mellonella larvae inoculated with 1 × 107 CFU of S. aureus JE2 and the atpA mutant. Gentamicin (1 mg/kg bodyweight) were administered 1 h post infection with follow-up treatments at 24, 48, and 72 h. Prolonged survival of G. mellonella inoculated with atpA due to gentamicin treatment was observed. All larvae survived treatment with only gentamicin (1 mg/kg bodyweight).
