Figure 3From: The antibacterial effect of nitric oxide against ESBL-producing uropathogenic E. coli is improved by combination with miconazole and polymyxin B nonapeptide The antibacterial effect of DETA/NO in a mutant strain lacking the flavohemoglobin gene ( hmp ). The effect of DETA/NO on bacterial viability in an hmp-deficient UPEC strain (Δhmp) and a wild type (wt) UPEC strain after exposure for 4, 8 and 24 h. Growth is shown as log CFU/ml of treated bacteria or controls (untreated) and compared to the initial starting inoculum. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. ***p < 0.001 DETA/NO wt vs DETA/NO Δhmp. Back to article page
