Antibiotic resistance profiles for 44 isolates measured using the BSAC method.

(A) The antibiotic susceptibility of single isolates to common CF therapeutics. The recorded zones of inhibition and mean value for each 44 individual isolates are shown. Each data point represents the mean of three independent biological replicates for each individual isolate. (B) Resistance profiles of each individual isolate to 9 antibiotics compared to a mixed community of all 44 isolates. Each blue point represents the sensitivity profile of a single isolate and red points represent 7 independent measurements of a mixed community containing all 44 isolates. In both (A) and (B), the values for individual clones represent the mean of three independent biological replicates. Individual clones consistently underestimate the resistance of the mixed community.
