The final assay was run in three independent runs containing two plates each of minimum signal (2% DMSO), maximum signal (25 μM niclosamide), and niclosamide CRCs with positive and negative controls. Nutrient-starved bacteria were exposed to compounds for 48 h, alamarBlue® was added, and RFU measured after 24 h. Z′, % CV, and signal/background (S/B) ratio were calculated for each experimental run.
