Parameter | Restrictive (mean ± S.D.) | Permissive (mean ± S.D.) | p value |
---|---|---|---|
Age | 36 ± 9 | 34 ± 7 | 0.7402 |
pH | 6.87 ± 0.24 | 5.74 ± 0.61 | 0.0136 |

SCN activitya | 7.00 ± 1.79 | −0.05 ± 0.13 | 0.0002 |
a SCN activity, as determined in Ref. 14, is equal to the log-scaled ratio of WT UTI89 growth to UTI89ΔentB growth in the presence of 1.5 μm SCN.
