Figure 1

EtBr efflux activity in triclosan exposed S . aureus cells. Isolates were grown for 24 h at 37°C on TSA containing EtBr (1 μg/ml), followed by inspection for fluorescence under UV light as described previously. Wt (freeze stock), C1 and C2 (two controls passed on TSA without triclosan), A1-A7 (7 triclosan adapted strains). Strains JCM 16555 (qacA) and JCM 16556 (qacB) (lower left), that overexpress efflux pumps, were included as controls.
