TABLE 2 .
Differential antibiotic sensitivity in Fe-starving growth-arrested M. tuberculosis and Fe-sufficient bacteria
| Antibiotic | MBC90 (μg/ml) on culturea: |
|
|---|---|---|
| MM+DFO | MM plus Fe | |
| Ciprofloxacin | >16 | 1 |
| Cycloserine | >200 | 12.50 |
| Ethionamide | >40 | 1.20 |
| Isoniazid | 10 | 0.30 |
| Kanamycin | >25 | 6.20 |
| Rifampin | 0.06 | 0.06 |
The MBC90 was determined for biological triplicates of MM+DFO and MM-plus-Fe M. tuberculosis cultures.
