Effect of AWME3 concentrations on the cell membrane perme ability of K. pneumoniae ATCC BAA-2473 strain. Planktonic bacteria sus pension at 10⁸ CFU/mL was subjected to various concentrations of AW ME3 ranged from 0.5 (125 μg/mL) to 4x MIC (1,000 μg/mL), and incubated for 8 h at 37°C. REC was calculated at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 h based on the values of electrical conductivity. Bacteria without AWME3 treatment was considered as negative control. All values presented as the mean of three independent experiments ± SD.
