| Strain | MIC (μg/mL) for: |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C9 | C9 + NaCl | C9 + KCl | C9 + CaCl2 | C9 + serum | C9 + trypsin | |
| S. epidermidis 5 | 8 | 16 | 8 | 16 | 8 | >128 |
| S. epidermidis ATCC 35984 | 8 | 16 | 8 | 16 | 8 | >128 |
The final concentrations of NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, serum, and trypsin were 150 mM, 4.5 mM, 2.5 mM, 10%, and 1 mg/mL, respectively.
