Figure 6

Transmission electron micrographs (TEM) showing cell wall thickness in bacterial isolates. TEM images show LS S. capitis HS12-102 (A), LR S. capitis HS09-17 (MIC 16 μg/ml) grown without (B) and with (C) 4 μg/ml linezolid, LR S. capitis HS12-55 (MIC >256 μg/ml) grown without (D) and with (E) 32 μg/ml linezolid, wild-type ATCC29213 S. aureus (F), LR S. aureus HS11-202 (MIC 16 μg/ml) grown without (G) and with (H) 2 μg/ml linezolid, wild-type ATCC29212 E. faecalis (I), LI E. faecalis HS11-304 (MIC 4 μg/ml) grown without linezolid (J), LR E. faecalis HS12-309 (MIC 8 μg/ml) grown without (K) and with (L) 2 μg/ml linezolid, LS E. faecium HS13-194 (M), LI E. faecium HS11-306 (MIC 4 μg/ml) grown without linezolid (N). Cell wall thicknesses are given in Table 3. Scale bars indicate 200 nm.
