Sensitivity and tolerance to oxidative species. JSG4383 used for WT S. Typhi. (A,B) Growth of WT planktonic Salmonella in the presence of H2O2 demonstrating a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2.5 mM for both serovars. (C,D) Growth of WT planktonic Salmonella in the presence of ClO− demonstrating a MIC of 500 µg/ml for both serovars. (E–I) CFU enumeration of biofilm aggregates challenged with H2O2 supplied at 1× (2.5 mM), 10× (25 mM), 25× (62.5 mM), or 50× (125 mM) the WT planktonic MIC or ClO− supplied at 1× (0.50 mg/mL), 10× (5 mg/mL), 25× (12.5 mg/mL), or 50× (25 mg/mL) the WT planktonic MIC. Significant reductions in tolerance were identified by comparing control (0×) CFUs with the CFUs of each concentration tested by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple correction method (**, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.0005; ****, p < 0.0001). All experiments were conducted in triplicate and the data are the averages of three independent experiments. Error bars indicate SD.
