Figure 3.
Time-dependent killing of exponential phase cultures of S. aureus SH1000 by γ-ACT and comparator agents at 4XMIC. The dotted line corresponds to a 3 log10 reduction in CFU/ml relative to cell density at time 0, and represents the threshold at which an antibiotic is considered to exhibit bactericidal activity. Values shown are the means of at least three independent experiments, with error bars representing standard deviations from the mean.
