Table 8 Biofilm formation of MDRAB (R1) after treatment with CST and TGC, either alone or in combination.

  1. Numeric data (A595) are shown as the mean ± SEM (n = 3) obtained from three independent experiments. ***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. Colors indicate the level of biofilm formation. A595 at TGC concentrations of 128 and 256 μg/mL were undetectable because the reconstituted solution was yellow to orange in color.
