Fig. 4

Significant reduction of protease production was found with A-ascorbic acid, B-dexamethasone, and C-sodium bicarbonate-treated isolates. OD600 was measured following overnight culturing of bacteria in LB broth in the presence and absence of 1/8 MIC of tested isolates followed by incubation of supernatants with skim milk for 30 min at 37 °C. The data shown are the means ± standard errors of three biological experiments with three technical replicates each. *, significant P < 0.05
