Fig. 4

Disruption of enoyl-CoA hydratase activity leads to increased antibiotic susceptibility. a Mature A. xylosoxidans biofilms were visualized by fluorescence microscopy after 6 h exposure to levofloxacin (100 μg/mL) and tobramycin (1000 μg/mL). Deletion of echA resulted in increased susceptibility to both compounds. b Integrative densities of green (live) and red (dead) cells were used to calculate % dead biomass for each biofilm treated with various concentrations of antibiotic (bars represent standard deviation, n = 4 for each treatment)
