FIGURE 1.
Oxacillin susceptibility assay of Staphylococcus sciuri. (A) Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of oxacillin in S. sciuri NWAF25, NWAF26, and their oxacillin-induced derivations, starting from the 0 generation to the 10th generation. (B) Bactericidal time with a survival rate of 1% (MDK99) in S. sciuri and their derivatives. The survival rate of isolates grown in tryptic soy broth (TSB) medium at 37°C with 20 mg/L oxacillin was calculated at five time points (0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h). Solid circle and solid square represent wild-type isolates NWAF25 and NWAF26, respectively; while hollow circle and hollow square represent the corresponding derivatives of NWAF25 and NWAF26 at 10th generation, respectively. Data are represented as means ± S.D. (error bars) from three independent experiments.
