  1. Data are representative of three independent experiments. The MDR E. coli CVCC195 strain is resistant to tetracyclines (doxycycline), penicillins (benzocillin and penicillin), lincosamides (lincomycin and clindamycin), glycopeptides (vancomycin), amphenicols (chloramphenicol), macrolipids (erythromycin), aminoglycosides (amikacin, streptomycin and gentamicin) and sulfonamides (sulfamethoxazole), respectively.
  2. PMB: polymyxin B; NN: no detection, N6CK: N6 scramble control, A6CK: A6 scramble control, G6CK: G6 scramble control.
