Fig. 3. Box and Whisker plots of TET MICs (A) and MBCs (B) for CC398 and non-CC398 MRSA isolates. The median TET MICs for CC398 and non-CC398 MRSA isolates were 64.59 µg/mL and 3.778 µg/mL, respectively (p = 0.0001). The median TET MBCs for CC398 and non-CC398 MRSA isolates were 192.5 µg/mL and 7.667 µg/mL, respectively (p = 0.0004).

MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; MBC, minimum bactericidal concentration; MRSA, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; TET, tetracycline.
