The LXC compounds inhibit cell division in Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606 A. baumannii ATCC 19606 culture was adjusted to a density of approximately 2.7 × 108 CFU/mL in MH broth and incubated at 37°C with the LXC compounds. A 1 μL aliquot was taken out at varying timepoints (0, 1, 3, 6, and 18 h) and imaged by light microscopy. The images for 6 h are depicted here. Images are (A) in the absence of the compounds, (B) with the divisome inhibitor, divin at 64 μg/mL, or with the LXC compounds at 2 × MIC values: (C) compound 1 at 256 μg/mL, (D) compound 2 at 256 μg/mL, (E) compound 3 at 256 μg/mL, (F) compound 4 at 64 μg/mL, (G) compound 5 at 512 μg/mL and (H) compound 6 at 128 μg/mL. The white arrow indicates “grooving” site, an indication of where separation of daughter cells should take place. Scale bar is 50 μm.
