Fig. 4From: Automated image analysis for quantification of filamentous bacteriaEffects of β-lactam–β-lactamase inhibitor combinations on E. coli growth kinetic. Reference strain E. coli, ESBL-producing E. coli, and a blood culture E. coli was treated with 4 different concentrations of either piperacillin alone (a–c) or with supplementation of tazobactam (d–f) as well as ticarcillin alone (g–i) or with supplementation of clavulanic acid (j–l). Growth kinetics were measured repeatedly every 15 min for 10 hBack to article page
