FIG 5.

Antimicrobial activities of gallium(III) in MDMs coinfected with HIV-1 and M. tuberculosis. Antimicrobial activities were determined by counting of the number of CFU for M. tuberculosis (A) and an RT assay for HIV-1 (B). GaTP (300 μM)- and GaNP (300 μM)-treated MDMs were infected with both HIV-1 and M. tuberculosis (H37Ra) at days 5, 10, and 15 following treatment of the MDMs with drug. Data represent the mean ± standard error of the mean for 3 or 6 wells. Statistically significant differences were determined using Student's t test. *, P < 0.01 compared with the non-drug-treated control.
