Bacterial growth of MDRAB clinical isolates in the presence of H2O2. (a) Bacterial growth of E. coli (EC), ATCC 19606 (AB), and MDRAB clinical isolates cultured in LB broth were evaluated. (b) Growth is represented as a percentage of the growth of the corresponding untreated strain. Summarised results showing the growth of E. coli (EC), ATCC 19606 (AB), and MDRAB clinical isolates in the presence of 51 mM H2O2 in 6, 12, and 24-hour cultures. (c) Growth is represented as a percentage of the growth of EC, AB, and strain R1 in the presence of H2O2 at the concentrations indicated on the x axis, in 24-hour culture. (d) Growth is represented as a percentage of the growth of AB and strains R2 and R3 in the presence of H2O2 at the concentrations indicated on the x axis in 24-hour culture. (e) Growth is represented as a percentage of the growth of AB and strains R4 and R5 in the presence of H2O2 at the concentrations indicated on the x axis in 24-hour culture. Data are compiled from 2 independent experiments (n = 3 for each experiment), and are shown as mean ± SEM. (f) Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated between the percentage of growth in the presence of 51 mM H2O2 and the bacterial count in J774A.1 cells at 24 hours after phagocytosis (Pearson correlation coefficient r = 0.845, P = 0.010). Each symbol represents a clinical isolate, AB, or EC.
