Figure 1. Effects of herbicides on bacterial responses to antibiotics.

Figure 1

Herbicides can change responses to antibiotics. Solid curves indicate survival as a function of only antibiotic concentration, intersecting the x-axes at the MIC. Dashed curves show herbicides (A) increasing the MIC, (B) decreasing the MIC, and (C) having no effect on MIC but altering population survival at antibiotic concentrations below-MIC. The hypothetical MSC is the point of divergence of solid and dashed curves and the area in gray illustrates all antibiotic concentrations where the herbicide changes the response to antibiotics.
