Antimicrobial resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to levofloxacin was increased by exposure to cigarette smokea
| Antimicrobial | MIC (μg/ml) at: |
P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0% CSE | 75% CSE | ||
| Levofloxacin | 3.58 ± 1.7 | 4.24 ± 2.16 | 0.018 |
| Gentamicin | 2.13 ± 0.62 | 2.58 ± 0.95 | 0.077 |
| LL-37 | 44.44 ± 25.20 | 21.33 ± 9.23 | 0.21 |
Antimicrobial resistance to gentamicin and human antimicrobial peptide LL-37 was not affected by CSE exposure. MIC assays were repeated >3 times, with biological triplicates.
