Antibacterial mode of action studies with γ-ACT. (a) Impact of a 10 minute challenge with γ-ACT and comparator agents at 4XMIC on macromolecular synthesis in S. aureus SH1000. (b and c) Effect of γ-ACT and comparator agents at 4XMIC on the function and integrity of the cytoplasmic membrane of S. aureus SH1000, as measured respectively in (b) with the PMF-responsive probe, DiSC3(5), and in (c) by monitoring leakage of K+ ions from cells. Values shown are the means of at least three independent experiments, with error bars representing standard deviations from the mean.
