  1. Numeric data (A450) are shown as the mean ± SEM (n = 3) obtained from three independent experiments. The range of detection was < 4.00. ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05, no treatment versus treatment with antibiotics; One-way ANOVA. †††P < 0.001; ††P < 0.01; P < 0.05, treatment with CST alone versus treatment with CST in combination with TGC; One-way ANOVA. ¶¶¶P < 0.001; ¶¶P < 0.01; P < 0.05, treatment with TGC alone versus treatment with TGC in combination with CST; One-way ANOVA. The colors indicate the levels of bacterial growth. Blue indicates no bacterial growth.
