Mutant strains after passage in drug-free medium have low-level resistance, fold change in resistance increases with % MIC. Cells were passaged on drug-free media for 5 days and the MIC to ciprofloxacin was tested. Each strain name (#-#) corresponds to exposure time-ciprofloxacin concentration (% MIC). Fold change (relative to drug-free control) in MIC of ciprofloxacin is plotted against ciprofloxacin treatment concentration (as % MIC) for mutant from (a) 24 hr exposure or (b) 48 hr exposure. Error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean of 3 replicate measurements. A fold change of 1 indicates no change. Drug-free control matched MIC of parental WT cells and conditions with no growth during purification were not plotted. All non-synonymous genetic changes identified in sequencing are shown below strain name. *P value < 0.05.
