a Post-antibiotic effect assessed by turdidimetry (Bioscreen). PAEs y S-PAEPs values are the average of three and two independent experiments, respectively, each of them performed in triplicate. Differences were analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Mann–Whitney’s U test

b Duration of Post-Antibiotic Effect-associated Permeabilization

c NOV, novobiocin; FOS, fosfomycin; RIF, rifampin; ERY, erythromycin; CAZ, ceftazidime; CEF, cephalothin; CIP, ciprofloxacin. MICs (μg/mL) are in parenthesis

d Score of Post-Antibiotic Effect-associated Permeabilization. Delay in h caused by exposure to a sub-MIC concentration of an antibiotic added at the indicated time (0 h, 1 h, 2 h) after the beginning of growth in peptide-free medium. S-PAEP was assessed by turdidimetry (Bioscreen)

e Determination was not feasible due to resistance to antibiotic
