Effects of antibacterial agents on Streptococcus pyogenes. Cells invaded by bacteria and then treated with PBS served as the study control. When 1 MIC of GRNX, CAM, or LVFX was used, each S. pyogenes strain demonstrated a significant bactericidal effect (a) (p < 0.05). However, treatment with AMPC or CDTR-PI showed no bactericidal effect (a). Treatment with 2 MIC of GRNX, CAM, or LVFX also yielded a significant bactericidal effect (p < 0.05), but treatment with AMPC or CDTR-PI exhibited no bactericidal effect (b). MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; S. pyogenes, Streptococcus pyogenes; GRNX, garenoxacin; LVFX, levofloxacin; CAM, clarithromycin; AMPC, amoxicillin; CDTR-PI, cefditoren pivoxil; CFU, colony-forming units. *p < 0.05
