Typical growth inhibition and luminescence inhibition
curves for three antibiotics. S. aureus RN4220/pTOO24
cells were treated with various concentrations of rifampin (A and D),
tetracycline (B and E), and ciprofloxacin (C and F). The conventional
overnight cultivation is shown in panels A, B, and C, and luminescence
inhibition is shown in panels D, E, and F. The assays were performed as
described in Materials and Methods.
